Exclamation Anyone Running This Brake Kit?

http://fastbrakes.com/shop/product_i...oducts_id=1527

I wonder if it would fit my offset? Guess I'll have to measure when I get my car back

Isn't that just an oversized caliper on a stock sized rotor?

Too lazy to check the link again.

I like the look.

I assume they are for the fronts, as the description says it includes the front stainless brake lines.

What size are the stock rotors up front? Aren't they already 11.8"? Or are they 11.2"?

Well...I guess the fronts are the only ones that really matter but would be nice to have something that looks unified.

That looks like a nice kit, $1k doesnt kill the budget either.

There is a less expensive alternative if you are interested. Check out this thread:
https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-performance-parts-modifications-116/caliper-upgrade-644385/

I just put these on my S/C'ed CLS-6 and they helped improve my braking.

$725 is pretty darn cheap for a big brake kit. For some reason it's also cheaper than the stock size rotor set up. Probably won't fit stock wheels though.

After my legend caliper setup with DBA rotors, EBC pads, brake lines, you're almost talking $5-600.
