Big ol brakes

I hesitate to call them gxp brakes, though they are technically. The fronts are grand prix gxp, and i just used bonneville gxp rotors and caliper brackets in the rear.
i didnt go *shoot* on pads and rotors like i had planned. Insted i simply got the top raybestos stuff and saved a few hundred bucks compared to the ebc ultimax rotors i was planning to get.
still, those twin pot front calipers are pretty rad. The improvement is signifigant. My stock stuff was in good shape yet and it still amazed me how HARD it stops now.
as a bonus, they look sexy filling up the wheels. Now i have to decide whether im going to run mismatched wheels in winter and buy a pair of snows for the stock wheels in front. Or swap front brakes so i can fit my 16"winter wheels on there.
