That sounds like the one-axle price. The rear-axle set should cost about the same. Brembo's are not cheap.

Re: after market brembo

Are you planning on taking your car to the track to race? If not, then you really don't need Brembo's.. the stock brakes are darned good, and better than most other cars get.

If you just want them to look nicer peering through the wheels, you may want to consider getting some hi-temp caliper paint and painting your calipers. You can search the forum.. someone's done it already.

Re: after market brembo

You do realize that big brake upgrades don't make you stop faster, right? They only resist overheating and fading better. After several laps around the track, they'll consistently still be stopping quick, while the stock brakes will be heating up and losing their braking ability. Simply switching to aftermarket street/track brake pads can go a long way towards reducing brake fade.

Brakes slow the wheels. Tires stop the car.
