:I

Yep! That's what I've got sitting in my garage right now awaiting installation!
 
Wow... $5K for brakes is pretty steep... I've beat on mine pretty good and they haven't complained yet... Just how hard do you have to push them to start finding the limits? I would think autocrossing wouldn't be too bad on them, road course might be tough... Quik?
 
with all my brake upgrades (listed above in post #3) I'll keep my $5k and wait for the SC.

That is a lot of Jack!!!
 
How much for just some slotted rotors? I don't trust anything off of ebay. I think I'll need some when I put on new pads. Should I even bother with new rotors, or just get the old ones resurfaced and not upgrade?
