Default Aftermarket brake kit for 08 XB??

I have been looking around and does anyone make a brake kit with rotors and calipers for the 08 XB? I want to upgrade the brakes to cross drilled and vented rotors, but I want to upgrade the caliper as well.

Preferably I would like red calipers. I know its ricey, but if I can upgrade the brake calipers and the rotors to something more "beefy", then hopefully my ride won't look to ricey.

If you wanna do that, you're probably going to need to look into a BBK. If you wanna go the cheap route, you can always get the slotted rotors with better pads, and paint the caliper. It's not quite the same, but it's $800 less than a BBK.

You coming to the meet on Wednesday?

I searched BBK's website and they don't even list Scion as one of the choices for parts.

I went to http://www.bbkperformance.com was that the right site?

I am going to try and make it to Wedesdays meeting.

All big brake kits are expensive. Unless you are using the xb2 for track purposes, I don't see the need for a DD. Buy some Stainless Steel brake lines (not sure if they are available yet), brembo blank rotors, and some quality pads and you are good.
