I just ordered the baer gt plus fronk kit for my 02 ws6 500rwhp.
I did some research and this system looks good, has a proven track record and was about 1100.00 for the kit.

LG C5 kit. Brackets are 249, you can use any front C5 rotors you want. You keep the stock calipers and pads. I have the C5 kit, LG DBA Gold rotors and EBC green Stuff pads. I love the setup. Here is my complete install guide for the C5 kit

I have the baer gt plus it looks awesome and works great the rotors are a little bigger and thicker than the c5 brake upgrade. I got them on sale throught tbyrne for only 750 bucks! NOw they have raised their prices, but you can still get them for around 900 bucks through them.

Don't drop the soap after you kill someone. You won't think it's all good when you're getting gangbanged.

I have a kit from Precision brakes (6 piston Wilwood caliper) and it's been great for everything I've asked it to do (and I'm hard on brakes).
