I got everything from autoanything.com. Even though it's a generic car parts site, they will price match anything you buy. And they'll keep doing it for the next year Plus free shipping, I got everything in less then a week.

Non-brembo, here's the break down.

Hawk Performance Ceramic Brake Pads (front set) $71.98
Hawk Performance Ceramic Brake Pads (rear set) $63.95
EBC Sport Rotors (Pair of Front Rotors) $194.95
EBC Sport Rotors (Pair of Rear Rotors) $167.95
Eibach Springs Pro-Spacers $116.95
Goodridge G-Stop Brake Lines $208.95 (found it for $170 and they price matched )

total ... $784.83

The brake lines are great quality. Agency power or some of the other cheaper SS brake lines don't even come close. Plus they come with all the mounting hardware. Lifetime warranty. Definitely worth the price.

Looking forward to the ZdayZ one way or another.
Yeah the kitchen up grades are finally done. I forgot to mention the wooden floors as well. Looks like night and day compared to what it originally to looked like.

Forgot to add that I'll be using Motul RBF600. Yes it's overkill but I thought I might as well go with the whole shabang.

Default Thanks to FunctionTuned ... few pics

Great turn around on the install. Obviously the first pic is of my worn out front brake pads/rotors.

True, but I heard the Police will be out in full force so we still have to watch it doing the mountain runs.
