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.

Rep Power: 399 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 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.
