Default Brake upgrade - stock wheels

A couple of weeks ago when I was researching brake pads I was led to a thread about and upgraded brake kit that fit in the stock wheels. I didn't bookmark the page and now I can't find it does anyone know which one I am referring to by the following description?

It used a lot of Brakeman parts and I think the company was a sponsor or else he was a subscriber who put together this kit. It was for both front and rear.

The article talked about how this guy wanted big brakes that fit inside the stock rims.


Thanx

Check out www.bulletproofautomotive.com or pm cjb80--it's not the brake kit you're talking about, though. It's a Wilwood setup and it's awesome. It's "only" $1295, too.

You're right that's not it and it's not as nice as what I remember about the other one.

Which is why I am trying to find it to see if my memory is faulty or if it really is as nice as I remember.

THANX!

That's the kit.

Now that I look at it again it appears to be the same kit that is offered at http://www.thebrakeman.com/s2000 but it is a little cheaper.

I've emailed them to see what the differences are.

Too expensive depends upon what you are getting and the end result.

Do you buy house brand ice cream or something like Hagen Daz or Bluebell?
