Any parts you buy from the USA to Canada will be expensive unless it is a Air freshener.

Hello guys, this is run. I can't access my old account so i just had a new one. I'm changing my brakes this week. I just hope by the time I have to change it again we can have the big brake kits ready for production. Lol!

I would get on the list; however, I'm looking for something that will fill up the 20 inch space. With the stock front being 11.9 inch and rear being 12 inch is just not going to cut it.

I'll be looking for stuff to see if i can take off and make it lighter on mondaywhen i'm off work.

But back to the Big brake kit I really need to fill up the gap on my works wheels. The brake looks about the same size as the civic lol. So come on lets jump on the lists and make it a Chirstmas present for us.

Yea...brakes on the RDX are terrible. Glad that I saw this thread, I'm still complaining on the brakes eventhou driving her daily for 6 years now. Pads and brake fluid upgrades are obviously not helping much. We just need a more powerful brake!

I'm joining the list if they would be sure that stock 18" wheels will still fit without any modification.

come on guys lets get this one going too. Hey k23a+f22c if your stock wheel doesn't fit you can all ways put wheel spacer on it to make it fit. Plus the rdx needs to be more flush to the fender too anyways

I'm in need of new brakes pretty soon so I'm looking at this kit along with the stage 1 offered over at HeelToe - http://www.heeltoeauto.com/product.p...at=2673&page=1

Besides the price of the kit and the rotors being slotted/drilled, does anyone know how the two kits compare? If this setup has far superior components than I'll consider adding a rear rotor option to this package instead of going with the Heeltoe option.

Hi all, i don't post here too much but i'm pretty interested in adding my name to the list. One of my questions is will this kit include most or almost all of the parts we will need to install?

Drivers - I'll be purchasing the FB BBK today. ETD ~ 3 weeks. I'll post pictures/impressions upon install and break-in.

Was the group buy successful? Any need for rear BBK after the front BBK install?

I'll post pictures of my setup when authorized by AZ.

Great kit - clean install! Great piece of mind during spirited driving. After installing various mods - it's the logical and safest upgrade.
