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

$3000 caliper: AP SC680

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