Easy to install. Factory bleed a little weak. First ride nice not the greatest stopping but I haven't bled them yet. Finally no turkey gobble from maligned callers, bent rotors and hacked pads. Combination juicy 7 front and code rear worked well on the rain and potholed streets. Will review after some off-road riding.
