Sweet!

May I simply suggest painting the rest of the rear caliper red so that it matches the bracket...

Also, any reason why you didn't go with the 2 piece rotors in the rear as well?

I really like their 2 piece drilled/slotted rotors but they currently don't offer them on the 14" 6 Piston kit. I guess I'll try to contact them to see if they can make them for me .

Looks like he's sporting his track wheels. Bruce does the same thing when he heads off to the track. Hence the "Drag Radials" indicated on the tires.

Nevermind. I went to their site & it appears they only offer it as a 1 piece. Getting more info on a possible 2 piece rotor.

Best bet is to go to their site to get a rough idea. They're probably the best "bang for the buck" kits out there that I've seen. Go to RacingBrake.com. Then for special pricing, PM member "sdoow" as mentioned above.

my rear volks/street tires are bald...thye spin through 4th gear...all the way through 4th...even when they had decent tread, they didnt grip at all in 1st through 3rd..the drag radials are on because my car is way more fun to drive when the wheels are actually pushing the car forward!

i'll be getting some 305/35/19 soon (hopefully they fit-fenders are rolled)

Yeah, they look as good as Brembo BBK. I wonder which one is better: racingbrake or brembo?

looks great. I will need brakes eventually as well. Looks like this kit costs just over 2000 but comes with rear rotors and brackets.

Did it come with pads and lines for the rear as well?

Deciding between this and the 13" stoptech kit for the front at about the same price, but stoptech doesnt come with rears....
