we have a Z member just install it. He won't tell how much and where he bought it.

I think you'd be better off trying to find someone to polish a set of standard big brakes for you, or getting stoptech or wilwood to special order/make them. I searched extensively on google and could find NOTHING about this company, so the chances that you'll get your hands on a set are slim. Furthermore, we have absolutely no idea about quality or performance. They look nice, but frankly that doesn't mean a damn thing.

You would do far better to buy an existing BBK and modify them to your spec (many places already offer coating options, polishing or chroming shouldn't be a huge stretch) than to buy a kit with no reviews or a questionable reputation and have problems down the road.

Is the only reason you are considering this kit due to the calipers and "hub" of the rotors being chromed?

Oh...Stoptech can do custom paint. They did Mazzoo's brake calipers in his custom yellow color.

They seem failry simliar to Grex(Greddy) BBK. (Originally Alcon calipers IMO) I know some members in this forum have Grex BBK, I think.. 3fitty? (Silverstone Z Roadster with Vortech SC and bodykit. It used to have Visage bodykit but it seems like the guy changes bodykits like shoes, so I'm not sure what he has now.)
I saw Grex BBK with chromed/polished caliper just like that so it could be the closest bet you can have. And you can get'em in US a lot easier. Try to contact some forum vendors. I'm sure they can help you out.

GREX 6 retails for $3265. So you can figure out how much JBT will cost you. They are same exact kit. As far as the rear kit it is 4 piston kit. I can say JBT is about 1000 or more less than GREX 6. Also Gracer 6 you are not able to get in U.S yet.(I think...)

Wouldn't the crome be very bad as it would hold in heat?
