Brake Kits
What are some good brake kits?? I saw a GT the other day and those slotted/drilled rotors and red calipers look sweet. It made me want some new brakes. I probably dont need them, but I think it would help out the appearance.

RE: Brake Kits
I bought some x drilled slotted that are stockdiameter (so you don't have to change calipers) made by baer for $220.00 atAUTOZONE ask for the decelerotors and I got some rear brembos that are also x drilled slotted and look exactly like the baers but i haven't installed the rears yet . then get some caliper paint and make sure it says caliper paint or when you get brake fluid on the paint will blemish bad !They look sweet .good luck !

Way back in the days, my calipers were yellow and i got tired of cleaning them so i decided to buy them pre-colered from the factory.

I got the complete Baer system approx $2000 that came with cross drilled rotors and red caliper upgrades.

So far as good brakes on a realistic (not retarded) budget look into the bullit/cobra/mach1 upgrade. They are all basically the same other than the look of the caliper (bullits are red with pony, cobras are differnt color etc) and come with a 13 inch rotor.
Its not what I would run if I was going to mainly autocross with the car, but they are a great strip/street upgrade, don't break the bank, and I could notice an immediate difference when i got in the car.

you probably saw mine I'm in S.A. too I drive a blue GT with grey racing stripes . I got the rotors in town they had them in stock .

Also everyone, is the rotor the main part of the brake that makes the stopping power, or is it the caliper?? I dont have a ton of hp so I know I dont really NEED badass brakes, but I like that slotted/drilled look with the red calipers. Should I spend money to get new calipers? Or just the rotors? And are bullitts rotors bigger than a GT's?
