Default brake systems

Anyone with pics of the Eradispeeds installed? I'm looking to upgrade my brakes b/c my factory rotors are getting worse. I'd like to spend once, even if I have to wait a couple of months. Looking to either do the Eradispeeds, or do an entire kit....... either the big Porsche kit, or the LG kit. Any experience with the LG? Does he make rotors for the rear, as well? I'd rather do an entire kit. What about Baer kits? I saw one was like $1200, but it only had 2-piston PBR calipers.
Need some advice! This car will be mostly street, with a fair amount of strip duty, and some road course action when I have time/availability. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

The Eradispeeds are IMO the best looking brakes out there, bar none.
They are 95% looks and 5% upgrade, again IMO. I don't care what anyone says, they stop a little better and with much more smoothness than the stock rotors. The reps from Brembo, Mov'it and Baer all said that even though the swept area is the same, they stay cooler and they are simply better than stock.
If your going to do any amount of road course driving I would say don't get the Erads. Do a TRUE brake upgrade, at least the front. I was going to do the badass Brembos up front and the Erads in the rear. But considering I don't ever do auto-x and I just put $25,000 into my WS6, Erads all around are all I need for the street.
I can tell you this, in speaking with the Mov'it reps, they sound like great brakes. There is no better than Brembo, but the Mov'it brakes are damn close.
