for those with BIG BRAKE KITS

ok...right now my car is sittin on 18" volk te37s and i want a big brake upgrade...i know some have the brembo's and some put on the aem big brake kit
cant afford the brembo's rite now ($2300), and i know that some people fit on the aem big brake kit ($1689)

which kit do i buy??? accord v6?? would it be even worth it to just upgrade the rotors for $400?

also, hows the performance on them? and how long would they last?

my stock rotors right now are warped and ive had them changed 2 times at the dealer already...i would take it there but i dont want them to mess around with my wheels so i want to buy an upgrade

if you can save up for the brembos although the aem ones are great they will never compare to brembos in terms of quality

This is about right. I have the Brembos. There is NO comparison to the OEM brakes. Just wait and save. It is worth it.

In regards to fit, the biggest concern is clearance for the caliper. 18's are fine but the spoke curvature is also important. I have O.Z. Superlegerra's. Check out

to get an idea.
