I don't know I think I would have to stay away from that one. There other kits are like 3000. You would be better off getting an OE BBK from Racing Brake and up grading to 4 Piston calipers later, or starting off with one of their kits.

get the pic, I got my 13.6" kit from him for $1100,
they do have good deal.

I wonder what's the size of the new kit, or if it's a cheap caliper model or one piece heavy rotors?

Well from what I gather, this kit doesn't come with 2 piece rotors, it uses the OEM size brembo rotor from a z/g35. The other two kits one for $1250 is a 4 piston setup with 13.25" two piece rotor and the other kit for $1500 is a 6 piston setup with 13.6" two piece rotor. So for someone with out brembos or looking into buying a front brembo setup used, you would pay the same price for a new setup from fast brakes that come with steel braided lines and Hawk pads.

Apparently they also sell a kit for those that already have brembos, so you can adapt a 15.2" rotor.





but I haven't been able to find it on their site.

That is very cheap. The RB and Wilwood kits are the other two low price ones and they are more in the $1700 range.

If the use the stock brembo rotors those are only 12.8".

I would get more info before buying these.

Loks like they don't have the wilwood 13.6 4 piston deal anymore.
The 4 piston 13.25 kit is still a very good deal,
to me the most benefit is the weight savings, I saved 8lb each corner on un sprung weight from stock. It can be felt instantly during driving, it's like
on lighter wheels, the car right smoother with less un sprung weight.

Stoptech BBK is expensive & heavy, but seems to be the most popular.

DO NOT SCRIMP ON BRAKES.

You can cut corners many places, this isn't one of them.
