did you get brembos? mine's 06. no brembos, i havent had problems with my brakes. i like them actually.

but overall im very satisfied with the car. It was 100% stock, and i was pretty content with it. Exhaust sounded great, standard xenons, okay sound system, and a whole bunch of other cool features
