Nah not really, just Baer, and WilWood...I haven't cut any corners on this build, and went top notch on everything so far...So I'm kind of set on the Brembo...

My rankings mentally are....
1. Brembo
2. Baer
3. Wilwood

That's the order I would go in, if I can't locate the Brembo stuff, or any info on it...

HI
I would look at all the upgraded brake systems but if you want Brembo, try this link (non sponsor contact information). about the cheapest I have seen but ask the sponsor, they may do better.

PS: Sorry I put a non sponsor link in my response.

Brembos are EXPENSIVE... Actually any brake upgrade, depending on how far you take it is gonna cost you.. If you go all out w/ big *** rotors, fr&rear calipers pads, Couple Thousand i'm guessing.. For NEW stuff...

Porsche 911's don't brake so well *just* because of their rotors and calipers. Anyone thinking that has been misinformed. The rear engine layout of the vehicle helps braking a good deal.

Stoptech is top shelf man. Look at all of the successful race cars using them. LG uses them on their Vette. Their tech dept is FANTASTIC alot of solid engineering their products.

If you guys want some of THE BEST braking systems available in the world you must consider AP. You're not going to get a kit but any decent fabricator can get a beautiful system worked out from their components.

Haha, 2k is cheap! The MovIt kit is $6-$7000k

There aren't many vendors in the US however. I've been trying to get a deal on these recently, and its not happening.

I may have to go with the Stoptech kit, seeing how I can get them at a better deal.

Yes and the $2600 above is a deal compared to normally that kit is almost a grand more, and why are you sayin that is the whole kit for $2K talkin about the Motiv dominating, that is the FRONT only...I am tryin to find out if Brembo has any plans, or anythign that will work on the rear, because if they don't then I will go with a Baer, or StopTech probably....

Stoptech dosent make a rear kit either. The rear brakes on these cars are fine, thats why theres not too many aftermarket companies that make them. Its just an apearance piece more than anything. If I was to have an unlimited brake budget, I would still mostlikley go with stoptech.

MOVIT are not Porsche or Brembo they make their own brakes nowdays
a 322x32 4K kit cost $2500 and a 342x34 4K kit (same as in the picture below but 4 piston caliper) cost $2600. As someone said before MOVIT offers rear brakes too.

Good info man. Are you sure all of their calipers or made by Mov It themselves? I had figured only the big dog billet type stuff was.

There is no 6 piston kit for the fbodys correct? I want a 6 piston kit just for the bling factor. It will fit with my set of 18s, and 19s I have coming.
