Is there any kits out that do all 4 wheels?

Im looking for cosmetics mainly here but the performance aspect wont bother me ;)

So far the Wilwood and Stoptechs are the only thing I have seen, both are just front bbk's and both equally costly.

Any help is love.

Dezod sells the Stoptech stage 2 kit - rotors and pads and brake lines.... Uses the stock calipers but it looks a lot better.

check out the powerslot plus kit. it incorporates a larger slotted rotor with the stock caliper. with new brake pads, that kit, and some SS lines, you'll have a nice looking kit that reduces stopping distances.

i got the powerslot plus kit for the fronts, now im looking to do the rear. the fronts cost me 500.00 shipped, and the rears are about 250.00.......
i am using the stock caliper with axxis pads and ss lines, and i would say it looks great, and stops just as well

Can any of you guys host a pic for me. I wanna do the fronts and rears. Since Im looking for more cosmetic over performance it seems odd to have the front only done.

Thanks

Yes we do sell all of the brake lines from each company.

I currently use Brembo cross-drilled brakes for the front and rear, with Axxis ultimate pads. Great combination.

yes, that is how the kit works, you use the stock calipers and they give you a bracket to relocate them so you can get a bigger rotor on the car

where are you finding the front and rear kit for that cheap?

Would anyone happen to have pictures or dimensions of the rotors and adapters used in the powerslot kit? I think it would be a lot cheaper to pick the rotors up off another car with the same bolt pattern and size and then fab my own brackets.

Shouldn't be had to find brembo blank rotors in 5x100 bolt pattern with a 54.1 center bore... now that I think about it I don't even need dimensions. Ah, planning begins.

10.8" up front, 10.6" up front stock.....

there was a guy on Ebay selling them, and i offered him 500.00 and he took it.......
good luck making your own kit.......
the rotors are 12.8" do the math 12.8-10.8 = 2 inches, you you need to fabricate a bracket that will set the caliper out 2 inches. however check the thickness of the rotor your going to use, it may be thicker or thinner then the stock rotor, or the PS rotor making for a issue of fittiment. talk to "the instigator" he knows about brakes.

Looking into it, I don't own a TC, my girlfriend does and I feel like messing with it :lalala:

Increasing rotor size without changing the caliper seems pretty usless to me. You sacrafice acceleration, braking power and increase service costs

your right its one inch i went out and measured the bracket....i suck at math i guess.

as for increasing service cost, what do you mean?
not that i care if it costs more, but im curious. as for braking power, it stops better then it did stock so that is all i can ask for... and that is point right, to stop better?

You sacrafice acceleration, braking power and increase service costsTrue it increases unsprung weight and the rotors are more expensive, but braking power is increased since you are moving the braking pressure further out.

i knew about the unsprung weight, im running 19's so i can use all the help i can get.....
from talking to "the instigator" this kit fit my needs, i dont track my car or race it, i just was looking for something to help with the mushy stock set up. I looked at the Stoptech BBK and the endless kit as well, but it was overkill.

no complaints here....
