2400 Crazy I know, but I was tired of warped rotors ( or whatever happens to them), and I figure I will be keeping the car for a long time. Had to wait nearly 2 months to get them. The quality looks great and they are supposed to fit with the stock wheels.

Order them from Germany! I'll have to check the cost. These should last a while though.

those look nice - i always thought the SVX needed some better braking.
do those calipers have dust seals, or will they need to be rebuilt constantly? i'd be too lazy for that!

Write up, Please

You should try to document it. Just to see what kind of problems you encounter with the install.
