You're not going to find a kit that will allow you to retain your 15" wheels. Most kits require AT LEAST 17" wheels.

i don't want track use pads while driving in street, besides i'll need replacement more often than one that is tailored to ur car for stock use. i guess i am gonna have to rule this out if it requires 17".

Brembo GT, super sexy and only $2,400 Have to have at least 16's though. I'm actually thinking about getting some, but I can't see spending that much on something that is going to stop the car, not make it faster

If you want a good big brake kit thats reasonable priced you may want to look at the SSBC (stainless steal brake comp). For the 13" inch rotor and 2 piston caliper with hardware, pads,a nd stainless lines it was like $700 plus shipping. But you do need 17" wheels. Look great and stop good too.
