Default LG Motorsports brake kits

Does anyone have any information about this product? Thinking about getting this for the SS, but just want a little feedback.

I've heard really good things about this kit. You get the larger rotor (12.8"), and supposedly the C5/Z06 caliper has about 10% more pad surface, bot of which which will result in a significantly larger sweep area. It's supposed to be the "best bang for your buck" brake upgrade for the F-Body.

Its a nice pkg. Bigger rotors, the option to upgrade to a z06 caliper, no pad taper to speak of, No cutting of the spindles, so you can bolt the stock stuff back on if need be, Price, cost of replacement parts-

Probably the Best upgrade for those that 1) want a little more brake with the ability to go to an AutoX or open track event 2) Dont have the largest of wallets 3)like bolt on parts with no muss or fuss!

Email me if you have any questions! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I don't see the kit on their web site. It just says "coming soon" and "TBA". Anyone have a link to more information?

Thanks

The kit is listed near the bottom of the page and cost $1,300 and cutting is required. You can get brackets, ZO6 rotors, brakes, and pads for under $800.

I have the LGM's big brake upgrade installed and have posted the pics here before. I forgot the price, since I stalled it a while ago, and I am one of those individuals that don't remember the price of stuff I paid for. BTW, here is the link again:
