trust me its expensive...calipers alone are more than an entire stoptech bbk. also, if they're the same calipers as mine, then the largest disc is 13" with a min width of 28mm to 32mm (but thats stretching it).
im still waiting for decent weather so i can make the trek to ottawa to KVR Performance....he's doing a custom bell and bracket so i don't need spacers for my 17x9 front rim.
these calipers dont have dust shields or rattle clips so it'll make a ton of noise - take a look at the quick release also. all the pads are special order - i ordered Project U titan kais from japan at SEMA last year and they're still not here.

I know a lot about BK too...Burger King that is.

its a race caliper...and its made out of billet aluminum = super rigid and disipates heat better. mine has the titanium piston option (cant tell if these do or not).....
pick up a stoptech caliper and then this caliper...u'll know what i mean.
as for the pads, u could order some ferodo or hawk pads but u'll need to find the correct shap - use the caliper specs ..theres a CAD drawing of the shape of the pad. im thinking of just getting some 2000+ ferodos for the street and saving the titan kais for the track....
on a racecar...no one cares of noise...and u want quick access to the pads....realtime uses them on all their cars (well cuz theyre sponsored by brembo).

i dont see how without huge spacers....if u look at the mf10s and the clearance of oem calipers...it basically has 5-8mm clearance (at most). now the mf10's sit flush against the fender so unless the kit that speedstar got pushed the rotor and caliper bracket in....the wheel will stick out. one of the reasons why i didnt go with the mf10s
