Well what about the rotors? They can't be TOO much bigger.

I've always wanted those big red breakes.

flybye,

are you putting them on your fd?

the only place the i can find that sells them is

ultimategarage.com

and the kit is 2795.00 for just the front. i know that there is probably some riggin' and modifying that needs to go on, but what gives?

crap, just go buy a used 911, you can afford it, right?

Damn, just think about the increase in unsprung weight!! :)

Brakes can be expensive. Some calipers (one caliper, alone) cost more than that. Look at the Mazda RZ setup or Wilwood packages that offer good performance without costing too much.

Look up the Alcon/Baer brake setups. The 12 piston caliper come to mind. :o

Damn. Next time that carrera comes into my valet, im bringing it out back and swapping his brakes with mine....

$3000 caliper: AP SC680

It's for Winston Cup racing, but one hell of an expensive caliper, nonetheless.
