The brackets are being made. This is just for fun, so I am not about to cease production to get these brackets out fast. Give it some time. The brackets are being cut, drilled, tapped and anodized.

Ok, out of curiosity, I started pricing things and a more realistic price follows:
4-Piston caliper: 200 each (400 total)
Hats: 200 each (400 total)
Rotors: 100 each (200 total)
pads: 100 total
Bracket: 75
Hardware: negligible
Stainless lines: 150
So we are well into 1300$+ with conservative numbers (probably more...
I spoke with a company that sells a Wilwood kit for 1729 (4 piston) and 2129 (6 piston)
They will do a group buy for us:
4 piston:
3+ 15% off = $1469
5+ 25% off = $1296
6 piston:
3+ 15% off = $1809.65
5+ 25% off = $1596.75
They actually recommended the 4 piston kit.

Do the Wilwood calipers all require a 14 inch rotor? they seem to have like 12 inch Wilwood accord kits for like $1000.(i do NOT track my car).

The Precision Brakes sells Wilwood kits, and builds their own using Wilwood components. Their kit is all inclusive: Hats, Rotors (14"), Calipers (4 or 6 piston), stainless steel lines, bracket, pads...
Wilwood also has a 350Z kit, but it is so new they dont have pricing on it yet. However I compared to some of their other kits:
Pontiac GTO 4 piston: $1900
90s Camaro: 4 piston: $1300
I would expect the Z kit to be 1700-1900$

I would REALLY prefer the front and rear kit. Otherwise I guess I could go front only.
