Not sure about quality, but their sales guys suck. Lol. Sorry had to do it.

Did they want their name to be in the movie?

every thread about them on the web mentions it.

what about Callahan brake kits, are they any good?

I've got a 2011 MKS and the OEM pads/rotors are basically toast at 28k miles. If you want a simple, economical upgrade over the OEM brakes I suggest Raybesto Advance Tech Rotors which are what I plan to swap my OEM rotors out for. They're black fusion coated to prevent rust and are meant for "sever duty, fleet, enthusiast, and high-performance vehicles". Paired with a set of performance brake pads should finish them off nicely for a nice "Stage 1" brake upgrade.

Tell you what, I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's ass but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it.

I installed Raybestos Advance tech rotors and ceramic pads (at Merchants).

Uhm, not really that impressed to be honest.  idk if i was expecting too much or what, but the pedal feel is not that much firmer.  the stopping power is greater but not to a huge degree imo.  now that i have black wheels i can't tell if theres a reduction in brake dust or not, i certainly don't notice any.  the brakes are extremely quiet and do not fade as noticeably as the OE brakes, but overall don't seem to be a significant upgrade from the standard brakes, just a mild to moderate upgrade...
