I am in the market for new ft brakes without spending a fortune I have narrowed it down to three options
1. lg motorsprorts g stop big brake it 12.8 inch rotors utilizing stock calipers
2. willwood superlite 6 big brake kit
3.baer gt big brake kit
Which should I get? I don't want to have to spend over 1500 dollars.

Pads wear out and rotors wear out ...

Look at the replacement cost of the expendables. That might help you make your own decision ...

you have a point, but I am not too worried about the price for replacing the rotors and pads as I don't rack too many miles up on the car every year so it wont need replacing too often. I would just like a big improvement in braking over stock and keeping the price under 1500. any ideas or opinions.

Braking performance is about pad compound and rotor size.

A big rotor weighs a lot but has more leverage.

An aggressive pad will wear fast, dust all over the rims and eat up the rotors.

BAER GT Big Brake kit is a PBR 2 piston caliper with almost 13" rotors ... or a set of stock C5 brakes

Wilwood is a good brand, but I don't like my brakes having the name "Superlite" ... just leaves me with the wrong impression ...

G-Stop is C5 brakes ...

would it be worth spending another 500 bucks and getting the stoptech kit? I will be forging my bottom end and adding a turbo in about two years will the c5 brake upgrade be sufficient I don't do any autocross or roadracing just fast street driving. Thanks for the input.

Might as well spend a few more ponies and get the Stoptech kit.
