Quality big brakes aren't cheap. K Sport makes some for about $1,500. http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/perf...Big_Brake_Kits

I have the k-sport 13" 8 piston. They stop very well but unless you're going to track your car I would just throw some T2 brakes on there (assuming you don't already). Spend the change on something else. That being said, stopping is far more important than speed/accel and its frequently over looked when people mod their cars, that's why I bought Big Brakes, with my LS swap I wanted strong stopping. That def wasnt happening with the 1 pot stockers.
This pic is with my 18" stern st-1 but i have 17s now and it fills the wheel nicely.

idk what BrEAKS are................
BUT, i know what a good big BRAKE kit is. and 3g is about the price youll pay for quality
and, if memory serves me, there is no bbk kit readily available for our cars, without ordering from rhdjapan, could be wrong though
might wanna hit up google and also check your spelling before you post please. grammar, spelling, punctuation, makes the world go round

Should be fine with just the front BBK if you use a prop valve. Are you using a 929 MC? How's pedal travel compared to the 1pot's?

Can you see it now? R&D isn't cheap, especially when your life depends on it.

if i didnt work 6 days a week, and actually wanted to fab it up, i would.
still not worth close to 500$.
hell, there is a shop in san jose that makes a viper caliper and rotor kit (as in, the adapters, rotors and calipers) for 700........
so, again, not worth 500$

Anyone can make brackets for $100.
Viper rotors (if you're talking about the older models) have 13" x 1.26" rotors up front... less than 1/4" than the ones I'm running.
So you think paying $200 more for a similar performing setup is better?
FC calipers are cheaper, so are the rotors used in the kit. And if you go through pads often, they're cheaper as well.
