Yes, they are by far my favorite street pad. They stop good cold and create a lot less dust than most.

I saw the calipers a few days ago when I stopped by and they looked amazing!

Whats the target weight?

And I guess you don't find a oil pressure gauge neccesary in a street car?

Lastly, have you decided on a clutch?

Thanks Emery!

Target weight is 2700 lbs.

Stock there is an oil pressure warning gauge in the dash.

I will be using an Exedy triple.

I agree with this...the Project Mu's make close to zero brake dust and their life longevity has exceeded the Hawk's I had on previously. However, they are EXTremely loud when cold and wet lol.

Everything looks great...looking forward to some engine photos and your turbo choice when you decide!

I thought they don't sell the rears anymore. I bought the fronts and was looking for the rears when I bought them.

They are great pads for the street and even hold up pretty good for light track use!

i understand that there is a oil pressure low warning light but what happens if the oil pump starts to go and the pressure can build as high needed 100 psi at full throttle i have had that happen before and the only way i spotted it is because of my aftermarket guage. the oil pressure was normal at idle but when starting to drive it would not fluctuate with the rpm. if i would not have spotted that and gunned it could have been a lot of oil starvation damage.
