IMO...if your lookin at the AEM Big Rotor Kit, you might as well spend the extra money and go for the Wilwoods too. Cuz ur probably gonna then say to urself, now I have big rotors and the calipers look dinky now. So I would jsut get the Wilwoods and go for 4-piston. Thats what I did and dont regret it one bit.

Well I got mine for 550 including the SS Brake Lines. So I dunno how much other kits frm other places will be. THe stopping distance is very very good. You dont have to use much pedal effort to stop with them
