For those of you wanting more stopping power here are some options.
1) EBC perforamance rotors and pads. Their rotors are slotted and dimpled not drilled to prevent cracking associated with drilled rotors. They are stock sizes and give a noticable improvement in performance. Their pads are made with Kevlar and offer a low dust and high temperature performance. I have one full set for a 00-up L in stock. Brake kit carry out all 4 corners 700, installed 825.


2)Brembo 14" Gran Turismo system when only the best will do. Standard issue for Porshe, Ferarri, and Lambs. They are also the same brakes used on the famous One Lap Lightning. There are no words to compare them to stock brakes. This kit retails for 3795 on their website. I could do a few sets for $3450 front kit, $3550 installed.

I had Terry install the EBC setup on mine, I think Mark has this setup too.. There is such a huge difference over stock it isnt funny. This setup has saved me from at least two accidents, so they have paid for themselves a couple of times.. it is such a cheap upgrade for what you get.. if you go fast you need to be able to stop fast too. This is a minimum "must do" mod unless you can do the Brembo's..

I spoke with Brembo today about some replacement parts for my setup. Switching to some more track oriented stuffs:D . Anyway, I told him I was running a special and he decided to help out a bittle. Normally 3795, I can offer them for $3350 which is normally dealer cost on them:bows .

Maybe a high temp fluid flush but that is about it for brakes. I have one set of 14mm stud brakes left.
