new brakes for my 5AT
I'll take better pics tomorrow in the morning after I wash the car. I got the calipers off of ebay. Running stock brembo pads, with stoptech SS lines. Total cost for the front is under 1K.

The pedal effort feels the exact same as before, except now I get very minimal if any brake fade. These brakes saved me from rear ending someone the other day when they cut right in front of me on the freeway.

Re: new brakes for my 5AT
I got the calipers off of ebay for under $700. The rotors and the SS lines I just got off online stores. Installation I did myself. It's actually pretty easy to do. You just need someone to help bleed the brakes. I read over the online instructions for installing the Stoptech kit, and it's basically the same.

Good eye. They're not stock, but I couldn't get the 6mt ones to fit without hitting the caliper. They're 12.4" rotors, so they're bigger than stock 5at, but just a bit smaller than the 12.7" 6mt ones. They were also alot cheaper then 6mt ones. $170 for both rotors.

Re: new brakes for my 5AT
Judging by the price, I would say not. I couldn't find any marking on the rotors to indicate whether or not they are brembos. Next time I'll get some 2 piece rotors. Just wanted to get everything up and working for now.
