I had the Stoptech big brake kit put on my 06 TL AT. It was I think $1595 for the kit, $30 for a change to ceramic pads, and $90 for the install. It's nice and just barely fits under the stock 17" wheels. The Stoptech kit is for the front brakes only. http://www.stoptech.com/

One more thing....if you go with a big brake kit, or even upgrade to the MT Brembo brakes, your wheel choices become very limited. I am still trying to find a set of wheels I like that will fit over the brakes. I don't think the wheels you have now would fit.

You can go here: http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wheel_fitment.shtml , follow the instructions, cut out a template and check the fit. Make sure you have adequate clearance. My brakes clear the wheel by about 2.5mm on the side and about 3mm in circumfrence (ie: clearance to the wheel weights).

Are you looking to do just slotted or drilled rotors? Or are you looking to do a Big Brake Kit?

I wanted to do the big brake kit, but now looking at my options I think I'm going to do the cross drilled slotted rotors with premium pads. The wheel clearence I think might be a issue with my stock rims during the winter months. I did now ever find a bremo kit front, rear, complete for about 2100. I can do the upgrade rotors and pads for about 400.
