    RPI Equipped has a kit using Wilwood calipers, but requires 16" wheels for clearance http://www.rpiequipped.com/store/c192093.2.html

    And Ireland Engineering has a big brake kit, abd has kits for 15"+ wheel diameters. https://secure7.nexternal.com/shared...unt2=629249215

      actually rpi has two kits, one kit for 16 inch and one for 17 inch.

      ireland engineering has a kit for 15,16,17 inch

      mov'it has a kit for 17's i believe, which is crazy expensive, and from what i heard worth the money.

      i am going to build my own kit, the only thing that needs to be done custom is the moutning bracket. IE rotors, wilwood calipers, misc other parts. You can easily have a kit for less than any of the above companies.

          the sloted disc are better IMO than drilled, they keep the pad clean from dust and give better response for the pad while breaking....

          I saw the kit somewhere arround 830$

            Apex engineering also has a BB kit, but is 2x's the price of the other I listed. I'd go with McDave's advice and seek to build your own.

              you can get them custom fabricated, parts would cost approx 150-200$
              use e34 535 brake components:

                you can get six piston wilwood calipers for 300 a pop. thats 600 plus the other parts and would easily put you under there 2100 mark. For that price i'd go with the mov'it kit

                  that's right amd I was thinking thew same, but the question is, will RPI equipped seel you the rest of the parts needed separatly? the calipper holder or support and other hardware?
