Yes but that clearly isn't your favourite colour!

I also was running on fronts for over a year, and recently i got the rears fitted. It is alot more balanced when braking now.

Ofcourse, non of this matters if you do not plan to track the car. And the standard brakes are fine, as long as you upgrade them a little, pads, fluid and hoses.

Big Brakes not needed unless you race.

Decent Pads, lines and fluid are fine for trackdays. Just don't look as flash and have slightly less precise pedal feel. But braking force is no better than OEM. Don't worry about the noise. Is high iron content ATE disks. Great quality and miles better than AP cheese.

Can't comment on the Alcon stuff, but the calipers look very similar to the APs.
