The oem brembos are a great kit for normal driving and mild track use. If you are heavy into track use you would want to look into better rotors as a good start.

Here are mine.
13" Racing Brake...loved them from the start!
Only thing was that Ttrank was right...they don't fill the 20" nearly as nicely as the crazy big ones he's got.

Sorry for the poor quality pictures. They were off of my camera phone.

Plus your wheel spokes go al the way to the end which makes them look huge and your brakes are still the same size.

Yea, I've never been a big fan of the wheels that's got huge lips because they look so small AND they're usually crazy expensive. (I got these wheels/tires for $2000 mounted, balanced, installed and they include the extra set of TMPS...basically the price of one rim alone on some of the nice wheels out there) I figure if I'm paying for a 20" wheel it should LOOK like a 20" wheel. I don't know, maybe after my winter tires run out next winter, I'll go for a bigger winter rim and up-size the brakes...still a ways down the road though.

I paid $2000 for my set but that didn't include the rear calipers only the upsized rotors and caliper relocation bracket.

thoughts ?
I went with the stock coupe OEM Brembos and I am very content with them. I don't track and it was affordable for the front and rears and you can feel a huge difference between stock and the brembos. Looks wise they will look fine on 19" wheels but may look small on 20s.

Which ones? The RB?

That seems cheap since my front brakes retail for ~$5k+
