IMHO, "holy shit" would be a set of massive race brakes with large open
wheels to show them off. Swapping to an OEM upgrade is cool for sure but
doesn't have a show stopping or attention grabbing effect for me. The only
benefit I see is the elimination of the ugly drums. I could swap the M3
bits onto my non-M car but it would really only be awesome to those in the
know, same with the swap you're doing.
Not trying to be negative, sorry if it comes off that way. Just trying to
add to the discussion and help you spend your monies. It's always more fun
to spend other people's money.
