NEW BRAKES; tce, brembo, hawk (pics)
Well I just finished my brake upgrade. I am very pleased with everything I have done.
Here is a very brief step by step of what I have done.
#1 STOCK FRONTS
#2 STOCK REARS
#3 DISASSEMBLED FRONTS

#8 S.S. FRONT LINES (w/ some added rubber protection)
#9 S.S. REAR LINES (INCLUDING REAR CENTER LINE)
#10 COMPLETED W/ WHEELS ON (F & R)
I used super blue brake fluid. I have bedded the pads already and done some minor testing, it has performed very impressively so far. I will get a real test this weekend at Buttonwillow. http://www.buttonwillowraceway.com/

Do you know if these brakes would fit with 16" rims?

I trimmed the dust shields to hopefully get a little more air to the hubs/rotors.
I do not believe they would fit with 16" wheels. You can call Todd at TCE to answer you direct. He has been outstanding with customer service.

Very nice.
If you don't mind how much did it end up costing ? (Price breakdown would be great).
And why Wilwood for the fronts and brembo in the rear?
And lastly, how much customization did it require? is it fairly simple?

Lumadar:
The total cost was around $2200 +/-. $1650 for the front kit, 450 for the rear, fluid $20, rear pads $55.
The customization wasn't bad at all. I just cut the dust shields with a cut off wheel, filed smooth, sanded, and painted.
sonic:
The wheels are 20" BOZE. and Yes the rear calipers are stock, just painted.
