That seems pretty high to me, but I don't know much about brake upgrades. Last time I checked on a brembo big brake upgrade with slotted and cross-drilled rotors, calipers, and ss brake lines it was only like $1500 and that was for the front and the rear. Can't remember where I saw that though, some website, wish I would have put in my favorites now.
That's also for a dime a dozen civc, or eclipse kit. This is a totally fabricated kit.
 
2400... damn that is steep but well worth it i am sure. a bit to rich for my blood... mm blood, maybe i can go sell some blood and save up the money that way?? haha..

500 less off of the total? or for each front and rear combo?
 
Way too steep for me. There is no way that I can justify spending $2400 on a brake kit. I would rather save for a little longer and buy the Hi-Boost Turbo kit. Which I'm sure would be a more worthwhile mod. If I had that much money to blow I'd probably do it, but I'm a starving college student and it's hard enough for me to find the money and justify spending it on my car, even though I still do.
 
what did you guys expect lol, 2400 is actually a good deal, I thought they might come up with 3000-3500 whiich would still not suprise me.
 
i wasn't sure if they were going to be 4 or six calip and i also wasn't sure what the kit was going to include, for the kit i think it is an excellent deal. wish i had the loot to do it. how long is this deal going to be around?

those brakes would equal mad whiplash if you stopped hard.

Actually in everyday driving you probally wouldn't even notice them.
Expensive eye candy for the daily driver.
 
The front and rear kit from Todd at TCE is only 1744. It inculudes a 4 piston wilwood FSL front caliper with a 13" front rotor, and an 11.75" rear rotor with brackets to relocate the stock caliper(the only way to do rear brakes if you want to keep your e-brake), and stainless brake lines for front and rear.

My wheels might have needed a small spacer toclear the 4 piston fsl caliper, so I ended up upgrading the the 6 piston narrower fron caliper just to be safe. I'll post pics and reviews when I get my kit at the end of the month.
