You could hit up NoLimitzInd to see what he can do for you.

He's a KSport dealer, and I recommend going through him!

i see no point in upgrading to a big brake kit. the point of a BBK is to have a better heat properties so that we dont get brake fade. my commute doesnt exactly cause brake fade
if you want a big brake kit so that you get a better bite then i say wait for Hawk Pads and some stainless steel lines to take the mush out of the pedal
if you want to tune for better F/R brake distribution our electronic brake distribution has that covered.

well, my bro upgrade his rotors to slotted and dimpled also with an increase of 1" diameter on his 2006 xb leaving everthing else stock and made an much increase braking, i've tested it my self. and now he recently upgrade the brke pads, steel braided brake lines and synthetic brake fluids now his car can stop on a dime. total upgrade he spent around $350. money totally well spent and its completely worth it. now for me i'm willing to pay $3000 for a brake kit upgrade but my i'm not sure is it worth its value. $3000 compared to roughly $1000 is a huge difference. thats my 2cents

well the loss of an e-brake is not worth 3000 in my opinion

i would stick to the same path your bro did. lines fluid and pads will probably make a lot of difference in our cars..

Here is the deal with the aftermarket rotors right now. I have them for the fronts. The rears you can not find right now at all. I can buy them from the dealer and have them sent off and slotted, drilled and zinc plated. The rotors from the dealers are not cheap at all. Like over 200 for the set of just rears. So here is what I am thinking about doing. Buying a extra set of rears. Have them sent off and done. Sell the full set of front and rear rotors. Have the customer pay a 200 deposit and send me back there rear rotors. When I get the rear rotors back, credit them the 200. What do you guys think of this? The rotors front and rear would be priced at 250 plus shipping and then the 200 deposit.

Dont see anything for the rear, probably becuase there isnt anything. I need the front and rears done but havent been able to find anyone reliable out here yet. I dont need a huge brake upgrade so the K-Sport is out of the question.

Im down want deposit? Have a time limit? <.=--- Thats all I need

And yes we do have your rear rotors! The prices are;

Thank You
