Would you be able to elaborate on what potential post install issues could be and why coding is required for M Performance brakes? Thanks.

There have been a lot of reports of squishy brakes after install. Usually caused by air in the lines but some say it's because they didn't code to the M-sport brakes. If the shop knows what they are doing it should be fine. I went to an indy shop that I trust and they were great, they only charged me $425 for the install including the SS brake lines and coding. The brakes felt great right away and continued to improve for quite awhile. There are also a lot of complaints about the stock pads squeaking and shedding a lot of dust so I went with ceramic pads.
