How many of you are interested in this? There's a kit being done on my car right now to see how it'll work and what not. It'll use 13.1" rotors and a 4 piston caliper from the Ferrari F50 car. There'll be two kits. One's gonna have the floating rotors from their gran turismo package and one's going to have the one piece rotor. Finally, we'll be able to have a Brembo kit for our cars and everyone can stop complaining that no one makes anything for us. :wink:
Retail pricing is still up in the air, but expect 2k US for the one piece rotor kit and 3K for the floating rotors. If you have more questions, just post and I'll try to answer them as soon as possible.

Brembo does make brake rotors for our cars... at least for my gen 3 Camry.

Or does a kit come with more than just pads and rotors?

It's going to be a full big brake upgrade. We've done a group buy of Brembo rotors back in November. Many from our club ordered them for their Gen2,3 and 4 Camrys. These are stock sized cross drilled Brembos. The kit that Brian is working on is a whole kit...larger than the Solara Pace Car's Brembos.

From talking to Denis, you have to have at least 17" rims to use this kit. You have 16" don't you Dickson?

So you plan on getting 17s or what? I would like to get the kit as well but I do not plan to go on 17s so I thought it wasn't an option for my 16s.

Kevin, how do you like the Bradi's? :smile:

I finally got my money back from the Brambo/bradi group buy. And I got my $1500 back from Level10 after months. But I still haven't gotten my refund for the sparkco plug wires or the wires themselves. And I ordered them from the people that make them...sheesh! I'm not prepaying for anything anymore. If this big brake kit comes out, I want to see it on someone's car before I shell out 2 grand.

the shiftronic. I was one of the first to place an order...they told me it'd take a week, then they told me a month, then after 3 months, they told me it'd take another month and still charged me $400 extra, claiming mine will be better features...they later said they'd give me a refund, but never did. Their website says it's available within 1-7 days! Notice they don't even have a picture of it. I threatened to call my credit card and they agreed to a full refund.
