Other brands of BIG BRAKE KITS...

Hi guys, I am planning on getting a big brake kit (I have a 5AT 2003 Coupe)... I know there are other brands out there other than Brembos... I just plan on replacing the fronts... are there more affordable brands that still look cool? It's mainly an appearance thing for me, I mean better braking would be a bonus

Thanks in advance.

My front bbk kit retails for around $1300 with 4 piston Dynalite calipers, 13" xdrilled/slotted rotors, and SS lines. I imagine the front kit for a G35 would be in that ballpark, < $1500

Do you by chance have a part number for those kits or a contact for finding out more information? The last time I called Wilwood, they had no kits for the G and said third parties were probably putting together their own kits from Wilwood parts.

I think the 350Z folks had a Wilwood BBK group buy going for a 13" kit:

Anyone know why the wilwood standard color is black? IMO that's the worst color for a bkk. You can barely see it and also I have a black coupe. Other bbks come in red also. Custom color for a wilwood kit is not such a good deal anymore...
