Fastbrakes has the Brembo. There are 2 Brembo options. 05' TL 6spd brembo's or Brembo gran turismo kit...

the brakes theselves are plenty big, just neet some more cooling and/or better pads.

probably the reason no one is rushing.

Go look at the "show of your winter wheels" thread. SOme one slipped a pair of Brembo calipers on their Si. Some kind of DC5 mods or something like that.

i don't want just brembo calipers....
i want a full big brake kit...

true the rotors are big enuff and better pads help ... but not for me anymore...
i have issues stopping my car quickly ... and yes it's because of heat ... there's no way i can cool them down ... i'm not about to replace my fogs with air ducts...

i've changed pads, brake fluid, i have stainless steel lines ... i need more braking power/clamping force and brakes that stay cooler.. no doubt about that.

fastbrakes only has the TL brembo kit ... what's the difference between that and the gran turismo kit? anyone know the color of the calipers in the TL kit?

reason i don't want any of the wilwood kits fastbrakes offers is because they seem pieced together...

i'd much prefer to have one kit from one manufacturer... brembo kit, stoptech or rotora ... no whosever rotors, then willwood calipers, then something else lines .. etc etc ....

if it's not like that ... then i stand corrected ...

i'd prefer to have brembo though ... the TL kit looks to be a good buy.
