Default Brembo's

Hey guys, I found someone that can install brand new pair of front Brembo's for $2,100. It includes everything (installation, pads, rotors, and calipers). What do you guys think, should I do it? I haven't check the cost of Brembo's, do you guys think it's a good deal?

sound kinda pricy for just the front. Of course this is parts only, I'm not sure how much labor is. I seen f/r sets go for anywhere from 2k -2.5k.
For $2100, might as well go with a set of new StopTech!!

Anyways, check with Chad, he might be able to get you a good price on Big brake kit!! Tell him Dave sent you wait, you know him already.. hahah

$2,100 includes parts, labor and tax for the Brembo's.

I'm thinking if I go with StopTech, it'll probably run me $2,600 - $2,800 for parts, labor and tax.

Tony- you can probably get a new set of StopTech fronts (13.2") for $1900. if you look around. And you can probably have them installed for around $200. If you go with the Brembos I would recommend doing SS brakelines at the same time (StopTech kit includes SS lines).

Group buy for Stoptech anyone?

I'm also interested in getting Stoptech myself. If you're interested, PM me for pricing. NorCal only.

Another advantage of the StopTech 13.2" kit is that the rear 13.2 kit will be available as an upgrade in a few months- in case you want to add the rears down the road.

And WTF is that avatar?

I just came across the website about this Japanese comic called Dr. Slump that I used to read and watch back in the 80s.
So I took the pics and made it my avatar.
