honestly i think that project mu and brembo is over priced. you can get the same or better performance from stoptech. i bought a 4 wheel stoptech kit for my car, but i ended up selling it for personal reasons, gonna ship it out tomorrow...

I vote awesome, good BBK is all of the above , it all boils down to bling factor and price/performance for your dollar. If I didn't have the Brembo option on my car I'd probably go for the Stop techs, Mu or Endless. I'd stay away from the clones.. Rotora, Grex.. etc.

I almost bought the PMU kit myself, and that one is my favorite. If you are talking strictly based on performance (in that budget), I would probably go stoptech. I'm a sucker for that teal color though...

what do u feel warrants the big brake kit? I have twin turbos and drive liek a bat out of hell with some occasional auto-x and such events and i still rock stock brakes. Are you going to be taking this vehicle to the track to be doing all out race days, or just want something that looks nice and will help performance? Most likely what u are going to be using it for, a stoptech stage 2 kit will suffice.

i'd go with a stoptech front kit, and some stoptech 2 piece rotors for the rear with oem brembo calipers. that will be the best bang for the buck and give you great performance even compared to kits twice as much. i love my stoptech kit on my gti. that car stops on a dime.
