The funny thing is, some of them are more for looks than a performance upgrade.

A 2 piece rotor upgrade, some good pads (Hawks), SS brake lines and Motul or Super Blue brake fluid is all the upgrading you will need.

Its the stopping power that counts.

Consider competition racing where 1 second separates the winner from the loosers. To some its worth $4,500.

yes they are expensive, but if they were cheap then everyone would have them. We can't have that now can we...
