Custom made big brake kits for AT owners

I was searching around for a kit for my rear brakes and stumbled upon this site.

http://www.precisionbrakescompany.com/custom.asp


They have a wide array of big brake kits, definetly worth checking out. Plus the prices seem reasonable.

1 piece rotor and it doesn't specify who makes the calipers. but from their site it looks like they use alot of wilwood calipers which is probably the weakest in big brake products. i would stay away from wilwood stuff. it wouldn't really be much of an upgrade.

that's probably why the price was so reasonable then. What about Baer? they have a touring plus system that looks prettty nice.

from what i have read from others off the internet, the baer systems are not that great either. that is the reason why you see them priced so much cheaper than systems like brembo and stoptech. that big brake kit from brembo looks very good and you can be sure that the stopping power is there with their products. if you are going after a performance upgrade i would suggest getting the brembo or the stoptech. if you are after the look of a big brake kit then i would get something else cheaper.

i think the brembo gran turismo brakes are the same as the comptech kit. if you search the internet you'll find that the price is around 2300 bucks. comptech probably just jacks up the price cause they are selling it through their name. the 3rd gen 5AT and the 2nd gen kits should be the same.

correct me if im wrong but unless you are parking on some hill in san fran and dont like keeping your car in gear when parked, you really woulndnt need them. Most of the braking is being done by the front brakes.

Mostly cosmetic, just like the way the calipers look.

go for the rotora big brake kit for $ 1400 on some websites. best performance and cost bang for the buck as I stated in another thread and you will NOT be disappointed. 4 piston Aluminum Calipers, CAST crossdrilles and slotted rotors, stainess steel braided brake lines and high performance ceramic pads. Can't be beat
