Big brake kits are really only good for decreasing the opperating temp of the brake system.... Meaning they are pretty much worthless unless you are overheating the brakes, not to mention that they don't decrease stopping distances. (in some cases they can actually increase stopping distances).


Personally, I'd be looking to get a quality Blank rotor like Brembo, tied in with a quality High temp Street brake pad such as Hawk HPS or HP+, and For added safety I would be a good idea to run a High temp brake fluid (ATE super blue or Type 200 would work great).

Now if you want to shorten your 60-0 Distances, get stickier tires.... To quote the guys from Stop Tech (makers of BBK and other brake parts)

Brakes stop wheels, Tires stop cars

But then again, if you like the look of them..... Stoptech makes a nice set other wise theres allways Willwood.

Later!
