Only thing is, I always have to look in my rearview mirror when stopping. When I tap the brakes, the person behind me has to slam theirs.

The brakes definately get a thumbs up! The AP Racing brakes are very good too, for about the same price. I'm quite happy with the way my car is set up now

Also, you should consider getting tires from Creative Autoworks as well -- I got all for Toyo T1R's for 850 installed!
Thanks for the info- I'm still on the fence about getting a BBK, and may opt for the RacingBrake kit as a much cheaper alternative.

I've got tires on order from them as well.

Nice wheels. I bet your car hears a lot of cursae words when you have to clean them. All I can say is that you know the owner is an enthuisast when he/she buys wheels similar to those.

How much did those brakes set you back, and how hard were they to install?

You can check out the prices for stoptechs online, I paid substantially less than retail, but I can't disclose the price I paid for various reasons.

Ajay,

Your new wheels looked hot on these boards. After seeing them in person, they look even better. The pics do the wheels no justice. The Stoptechs still looked the same in person . . . They're simply HOT!
