Re: aem big brake kit

They're not bad if you have more than one-piston calipers like the crappy stock ones do, braided brake lines, and good brake pads like EBC Greenstuff's. You'll need 17"+ rims for the big brake kit to fit.

True enough.

AEM kits like the Big Brake kit, are more for show than performance. Cross drilled rotors arer no good for the street, and using the STOCK calipers on "13 discs is just not something I'd do.

Re: aem big brake kit

I just had Brembo slotted rotors and AEM pads installed. I can definately feel the difference in how they feel. I'll be putting in SS lines very soon.
