DJANIMATE, about the same as a used 1988 Mustang. These brakes let you go deep into turns and never get hot!!

Out of curiosity, I called Baer Racing and asked if they did a L brake kit. They said no, and we don't plan on doing one. I told them about the $3700.00 Brembo set up and they said if they DID do one, it would be about the same price. Cha-ching, ouch!

Im sorry but brakes that cost just as much as the engine? I do realize that these are top of the line systems but.....talk about break the bank. I think stillen makes cross drilled rotors....i do believe they are the stock rotors with holes.

After 25 minutes of beating the hell out of the brembo's at Buttonwillow raceway, no cool down lap, just pulled over... RUSLOW checked my rotor temps (laser temp guage).

500 deg in front... not even hot enough to boil my motul brake fluid.
800 deg in rear... with the stock brakes.
