Finally got the big brake kit from SuperForged Wheels installed and put through it's paces after a month of waiting for shop time to open up.
Before I go into the review of the product, I want to take a minute to give a huge shout out to Bruce Criscuolo who has gone so far above and beyond with his customer service he's earned a lifelong customer in me. I had an issue with fitment in the rears, which my shop overcame quickly and easily, but I reached out to Bruce to let him know as he asked me for feedback after my install on an earlier thread. He was instantly in communication with me, got info from me to follow up on his end about, and was unbelievably generous in making the small situation right. I can tell how much pride he takes in his company, and how serious he is about providing a product of the highest quality and standards.
Now onto the kit itself - they are AWESOME! I have a track day mustang with all the performance pack goodies and fancy brembo 6 piston setup, and those things will go all day without fading and I can honestly say my 1,000 lb heavier SUV now brakes with similar performance and longevity. Bringing this big pig down from 130+ mph on the stock brakes was a sketchy affair, and after that you didn't trust the brakes for a good 3-5 minutes while they cooled down. Well now I can jam on them at any speed and they slow down quickly, without drama, and I can do it over and over again.
I took the car out today to my favorite set of twisty back roads, a good 25 mile circuit with a ton of hard braking sections, and the car performed as well as my mustang in the braking department. No fade, pulled big time deceleration G's. It'll rip your head forward if you stand on the brake pedal.
No squeaks, minimal dust, and tons of confidence. For less than the cost of just the fronts of the other big brake kits out there for our cars, you can get the whole superforged kit with all 4 corners, braided brake lines, and finally get the whoa pedal to match the go pedal in these STs. I can't recommend this kit highly enough. I'm so very glad I did the upgrade. Most of us have 11 second 4,800 lb SUVs, the stock brakes are no match for that, and the powerstop stuff is cute, but you're not going to significantly improve our stock system with just some new pads and different rotor material.
Plus I love supporting people like Bruce, Adam, and Brett, who put in the work to bring us the performance parts that nobody else takes the time and effort to develop.
If you've got any questions, fire away. But do yourself a favor and buy this kit.

. Similar happened to my CTSV Brembo Calipers. They went from silver to gold after my first road race day. Guessing I got the Superforged nice and hot
