try aem.....but i personally think big brakes are waste of money if you are not producing high amount of power....I say just get some brembo crossdrilled with some hawk pads and be done with it. Crossdrilled isnt even necessary.....blanks will do the job just fine....

i agree with Moua, i recently replaced my front brake system with stock blanks, stock calipers, and non-asbestos brake pads... they get the job done when it comes to stopping... also keep in mind that if you go with the big brake kits... it is most likely you will have to uprade rims size... maybe 17's and up...

i do not agree. bigger, better brakes are just as important as suspension and tires. you don't have to be making a ton of power to take advantage of better brake feel and stopping ability.

you dont even really need drilled rotors unless your autoX and you wail on the brakes every 30 sec or so

I have the AEM big rotor kit. It's pretty nice. Better than stock. It has 12 inch fronts and 11 inch rears, and I have Hawk pads.

http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4007780093 Here are 2 pics of them. The front calipers are rusted because we had to grind the edges down for them to clear the wheels. Now, they only clear the wheel by the thickness of a ziptie.

Don't get Brembo, they are way overpriced. AEM is decent, but FastBrakes and Wilwood make pretty badass kits for decent money.

Stoptech = $$$
APP =$$$

both are overkill for a street car
for a street car all you need are good pads
for a race car, there isn't such a thing as too much brakes

Go on ebay, type in tenzo brake, they have big brake kits (rotors and brackets) for about 260 shipped. Its about the same as AEM so...why waste money?
