Well then you should educate yourself more about brake systems before deciding what you "need"

You are forgetting that the friction creates torque on the brake rotor. The bigger the brake rotor, the more effective whatever pad or caliper you have clamping the rotor, because its able to apply more torque given the same frictional force.

heres my new brake kit
You need to measure ur car in order to make sure if its properly, in case it doesnt you may add spacers. but it all depends to your rims. you need at least 2 inch clearance
328x35mm brembo Nascar spec Rotors 48vane
Alcon nascar Xt calipers (a huge ****)
Anodized aluminum rotor hats
Wilwood polymatrix H compound pads 30mm

If you drive it a bone stock FD will go 130 plus depending on the road course and you'll melt any pad w/ the stock brakes in a weekend. In one day along w/ cracking the rotors in half w/o good duct work. A big brake kit is a must if for no other reason than fitting in a thicker pad.

you like your brakes fritz !!
the sad side to this is that i will only be able to offer one kit. There are no any alcon XT calipers anywhere around. I happen to have 2 sets and that's it and yes they are both brand spanking new in their original box
I can contact alcon and see if they have any left overs anywhere else but i highly doubt it. If they do they wont give them lower than $3k each :P
As for the rear kit, nothing so far even though its spinning on the back of my head as of which caliper to use to work good and look good (matching)
the price tag will be around (And possibly less ) $3k
For those interested in the technical stuff of this caliper, i can't add the pdf technical sheet but i can email it to anyone, just shoot me a pm with ur email address

NOT SURE IF ANYONE MENTIONED THIS BUT YOU WOULD LOSE THE EBRAKE IF YOU CHANGE TO AFTERMARKET ALUMINUM CALIPER. YOU WOULD NEED TO UPGRADE TO A HYDRAULIC EBRAKE MECHANISM TO RETAIN THE FUNCTION.
THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T SEE THEM BEING OFFERED FOR THE 7'S.
Z33, STI, EVO all use a DRUM Style Ebrake so they can change the caliper and still have ebrake.
