Can anyone suggest a good brake kit to buy?
I've found this link, but maybe some of you know some hidden gems

i like the kit from rock auto my car has here is a link to description:http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=3803406&cc=1416833
they look really good and stop really fast, way less dust as well.

Nice that's not a bad price for all four wheels. Thanks for that
Anyone happen to know what it should cost to have a shop install that kit?

So i went ahead and bought new pads, rotors, calipers and lines from RockAuto since my brakes are complete fuber'd.
I was quoted $1000 for labor to install these parts, flush the brake lines, and replace the fluid


Reasonable?

That seems crazy to me since it's really easy to do all of that yourself. You could do all of that in one afternoon with no problems. The only "specialty" tool you need is a bleeder which you can buy or barrow from most auto part stores.

That seems like an insane amount of money to put that on. Brakes really aren't that hard to put on, and you could just bleed them the old fashioned way. Otherwise, just bleed them as best you can and take it to a shop for a pressure bleed. Shouldn't cost more than $100 bucks for that.
