I would be down only if you come out with front and back and I would want a silver face, that gold face is pretty gay. But this is still a good start, good work stillen. Also defenetly down for financing.

silly question possibly retarded but if you took a stillen rear rotor, and matched it with a one of the front calipers, would that work for rear big brakes?

its like buying a nice diamond ring, and hiding the diamond..
Honestly, I'm not about high profile or "bling"-- I'm about subtle asthetics as well as performance.

The gold just looks ridiculous IMHO- everyone else is entitled to their own opinion.

I think the gold rotors would look badass on my Super Black with the 19" Nismo rims!

In my opinion, this guy can post as many pix as he likes...As long as he includes the girl in his avatar...Or he can just email those to me if they offend anyone! HAHA.

Seriously though, these brakes are on the pricey side and we know that but there is a lot to consider when looking at what exactly comes with this brake kit. You'll be getting new improved calipers, caliper relocation brackets, larger performance cross drilled and slotted rotors, new stainless steel braided brake lines, high performance Mintex Xtreme Motorsports brake pads that are awesome in all heat ranges from 0-1,000+ degree temperatures.

If you are serious about performance and going fast then you should know that brakes are a factor of the equation. When it comes to track use, brakes can sometimes be more beneficial than increasing the cars power output. Take for example a Lotus Elise, great brakes...no power!

He could always put the picture in his sig like some people.....

But about the brake package, I think it's a good price compared to every quality big brake kit out there which run hundreds more. Granted those are usually 4 piston setups but even those of us who track the car probably won't be putting that kind of abuse into the caliper to cause significant brake fade. Might have to just do a simple rotor swap for the rear seeing how a big break kit would be purely cosmetic back there.

That is a good point. I refer to the Elise because they actually use AP Racing brakes. Even though that car is so light they use pretty big brakes on them. You should see the size of the brakes on the Lotus Elise cup cars...Crazy big for how small that car is.

I think we all love and want big brake kits and I'm by no means arguing against buying them, I want a set as bad as anyone, but you won't really notice to much of a difference unless you track the car or flat out abuse it on the roads with heavy repetitive stopping.
