You may want to specify what's "affordable" since it's different for everyone.

Texas Speed, Thunder Racing, etc. all have brake kits available.

That's a bit of a drive to get some brake work done.

Great price though, I wish I lived down in Houston still. Seems there's more reputable shops down there than up here.

Wow that is a great price for a performance brake setup. I wish I would have known that before I went with my Baer setup.

lol wrong forum but ill help you out just go to the brake and suspension forum and dont get drilled or slotted brakes they wear the brake pads off faster. and offer no performance gain and are primarly for looks. I hear alot about the c5 break conversion and halk brake pads tho.

Get some better (heavier) stock replacement rotors, Hawk or Axxis/PBR pads and some better fluid (I chose ATE Superblue). Its a very nice increase in braking performance over stock. Especially for the price.
