Default Big Brake kit

Hello,


Well I dont know if anyone knows anything about this kit. But I justed talked to fastscions and they told me the capilers are Wilwood. He didnt know who made the rotors but that he will find out. Also, the pads are Axis ULT.

I just wanted know what do you guys think?

i've always wondered, where do you get replacement brake pads for those BBKs.. straight from the manufacturer?

anyway, it looks like a nice kit. however if the price is close to the Project Mu ones i'd probably go with them instead.

Holy slotted rotors, Batman! How much stopping power do you need? I can make the ABS go all ***** nilly with just the stock pads. Do you coat your tires in super glue?

Unless you have forced induction and/or have R-compounds on the track, you don't need a big brake kit.

You can get excellent bite and stopping power if you get some aggressive pads (Hawk HP+), slotted rotors, stainless lines and fluid.

We've tracked much heavier cars with stock brake calipers/rotors (upgraded pads, fluid etc) and for beginners they perform great.

Take the money you've saved and get some sticky tires...

Are you going for performance or style?

Best bang for your buck would be super sticky tires and Axis ultimate pads. Also change the brake fluid.
