1650 for the 4 piston set I have. They have a GP going on now in the sponsor section for the 6pots for about the same price as what mine were.

Also I weighed the whole set to see what the difference would be. Wilwood package came in at 47 pounds and the stock parts were 58 pounds. Now of course if I was smart I'd have weighed the rotors to compare but didn't think of it till I had em on the car.

Those do look great. I love them 10 spoke SS rims too. Im going to have to pick up a set of those.

1650 though, you`ll probably need to send some one to scrape me off a cement barrier before I can spend that much on brakes. lol

Spent alot more than that on the "go" parts... figured I'd spend some on a bit of "woah". Now I just think I need new more aggressive pads on the rear stockers to keep up. Any idea's?
