I've seriously looked at it, cuz its the only kit that clears 15's, but IMO, its not worth $1300. The car doesn't go fast enough to need it.

Well the price has apparently come down... hmm time to start saving.
Stock rotors are 10.2"
The 11" kit is essentially DC2 ITR rotors drilled 4x100 and the appropriate **** to mount them and all that.
The 12.2" kit is the kit you can buy through Wilwood or elsewhere.
The only time I can see it as useful is as a track car brake upgrade. Thats the only time I've found the stock front brakes inadequate.

i've been planning on parting out to go back to stock for something else i'm working on

I got the SSBC kit for the front and rear drum to disc conversion. I never got around to doing the rear kit so its brand new. THe front kit is awesome but why leave it for a dealership when someone else can get real use out of it.
