I did legend calipers with brakemotive cross drilled and slotted rotors w/ pads for $245. Eventually I'm going to go with rl calipers which has been done for about 500$-700$ depending on how much you get the calipers for.

We now offer a 1 pc 13" XLR8 Big Brake Kit by STOPTECH.

http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-533322.aspx

XLR8 Big Brake Kits are just the beginning of a partnership between Excelerate Performance and STOPTECH. These kits were designed by STOPTECH exclusively for Excelerate Performance and therefore are designated an XLR8 Big Brake Kit. We worked closely with STOPTECH to bring to market a brake kit we believe would meet the needs of a large number of our customer base who are looking for better braking, longevity, durability, aesthetics, at a “brake” the bank price. Although this is beginning as a Touring kit application for the current applications it will evolve into much more. Onto the details.

XLR8 Big Brake Kits are essentially StopTech® Touring Big Brake Kits®. These kits are the ultimate in 1-piece rotor brake upgrade systems and represent the best performance value in the StopTech® lineup.

They offer nearly the same performance as the StopTech® Big Brake Kits and Trophy full race systems at a more affordable price point. Designed for street driven production vehicles, StopTech® Touring Kits include forged 2-piece calipers, larger 1-piece rotors, StopTech® Stainless Steel Brake Lines, StopTech® Street Performance Brake Pads and application-specific caliper brackets.

The stiff 2-piece, fully-forged calipers have designated piston sizes specific to each application and provide a firmer, more responsive brake pedal that provides better brake pedal modulation.For this application, the Touring Big Brake Kits® is available in a four piston configuration and 5 different caliper colors that use a special high temperature paint to withstand extreme conditions. All StopTech® Touring Big Brake Kits® include stiff calipers that utilize silicone dust boots to extend service intervals.

The larger 1-piece rotors, available in Power Slot® slotted, or StopTech® SportStop® drilled finishes, provide greater heat capacity and reduced brake fade. Also assisting in fade resistance and higher performance are the StopTech® Street Performance Pads® which have a high maximum operating temperature, and high bite for responsive brakes that can be driven hard.
