(For front and back) Anywhere from about 1200 (Used stock brembos) to 7 or 8K for some ridiculous.

Its really up to you how much you wanna spend.

You can spend anywhere from $899 to $3,500 depending on options. Let me know what you're looking for and I'd be glad to steer you in the right direction.

All the best,
Alex

Stock used brembors would do I think - I'm not too picky in this area. What do you think?

Just pic which brake manufacturers color you like and make the purchase. That's what everyone else does.

It really depends on what you want to do with the car, what you want to spend, what you think you'll be satisfied with in the future and how much of a bling factor you'd like. Brembo's are enough for most people, especially when coupled with a nice pad, lines and oil.

I wouldn't think it would be too hard to get your hands on a set of brembos either. PM me if you'd like me to help out any further.

+1!!

I was going to go the brembo route.. but I figured it was too common. I went with http://www.onadimepbs.com/onadime350z.htm

Alex over there is great. I did just the 4 pots in the front custom powdercoated. The 6 pots are nice but the Wilwood uses a sticker on those; the 4 pots are embossed kinda so I had them polish the lettering and powdercoat the calipers.

Brakes completely better than stock brakes with Hawk Pads.. night and day.

For the rears I just painted the stock caliper black and ordered the matching rotors from Alex too.

Im gonna be getting pics and a full review by next week. Just waiting for the the rest of my Amuse kit to go on.
