I’m also getting interested in bbk. What is the best bang for the buck in regards to performance? Some look better then others, but what works for track and autox. (sp?)
I was thinking of the stock Brimbos or The 13inch stop Tec front only. What do you think?

I got the ArizonaZcar Wilwood kit for the front. I autocross monthly and do HPDE's every other month or so. Been very happy with the Wilwoods - especially for $1400, can't say that spending more would've been justified.

you sure it is 8 pistons? from the pix, they seem like 6. Also, 8 pistons come with 380mm rotor and with 20" wheel, they should cover all the area inside.

My budget would be around $1100 for everything pretty much. I drive daily, but I would like better stopping power.
