it only for the front. If they made them for the back, it can cause the car to spin out of control. So pretty much u will never have a back big brake kit. It ok because the front does most of the work. The front stops u, the back slows u down.

Acutally they kinda do, but it only for like couple of cars. They don't make it really. There only a very small number of cars that have it. Also u have balance it, etc etc, complicated. Cars can lose control if it not balanced out.

LOL...

Looks better or Stops better? Man you have to decide what you want....

You can get your self set of real pretty calipers that suck. Or you can get yourself some Brembo 4pistions powder coated black that will bounce your eyballs off the windshield... If you really want to get nasty, go to Willwood and see what they have for your car. They might have the 6-piston half moon caliper available... Those will choke you on your seatbelt... Then upgrade to some cadmium rotors (slotted, NOT drilled).

Bam, now you can stop from 60-0 in under 100ft and you dont have to worry about looks...

Function over form.. Always...

I dont know if you guys have heard of SSBC, or Stainless steel brake company. They have made brake upgrades for domestics and just got into imports. I know alot of people that have these for mustangs and such and they look and stop awsome. They came out with a 12 inch rotor kit and a 13 inch rotor kit. They are around 800 bucks list, and have 2 piston calipers available in any color your little heart desires, When my money situation is a little better i will probably buy these, they look great. There website is www.ssbrakes.com Peace out, Chris

Got a quick question? How many piston calipers does the stock cl have. It looks like it would have 1, but i havn't taken the brakes apart yet. Thanks, Chris
