I need new brakes
My stock brakes are toast...Are there any kits that look good and preform good rollin on 15 Acura GS-R rims? I want something a little flashy, where you notice they ain't stock brakes when looking at them. I was thinking about the Tenzo R Big Break Kit, but I don't see any Calipurs. Can I get those seperatly? Do I also have to buy seperate pads or anything else? What about rotors? Can I just get some new cross drilled rollers and some AEM or Endless brake pads? Any help is appriciated.
Thanks,
Eric

you wont fit any big brake conversion with your gsr fat fives. You wont even fit big rotors. You need at least 17" + to fit big brake kit and 16+ for big rotor kit.
With those 15s you can only fit another brand rotor like brembo oem rotors.

Ahh, thanks.
Damn I was afraid of that. So can I get cross drilled & slotted Brembo rotors and AEM pads for my 15s? Should i just keep the stock calipurs & paint them or would better calipurs help? I want to improve the braking performance & look good.

caliper*
slotted and cross-drilled rotors are just marketing gimmicks. they don't help you brake any. maybe slotted would cool your brakes faster, but they will also eat your brakes faster, too.
