the Endless braking kit is a one inch up kit. so basically you are getting a 13" (12.7") w/ their 6pot rotor.

here is a pic without a wheel on the car...

oh sorry about that, so it's 13"

well, i think back in 2 yrs, 3500 wasn't really that much more for the endless, but it was pretty hard to get to say the least

now, 3500 is a lot, considering what you have to pay to get the rotora or the stoptech. ap racing prices drop too, brembo is the only one who stays high for no reason imho

oh and btw, if you want to get premium, take a deep breath and look at the project u brakes

And even the Brembo 355MM (14") brakes are less $$ at $3159 (Tire Rack price, Carson and TM Engineering can also get these).

The Endless sure look awesome though and are certainly exclusive, congrats John . Like the two piece rotors too

Damn I really realy want a set of these.....but then again....for around 800 more...you can get the front/rear 14" stoptech brake kit....but then again lol not to many people are high disk rear wheel setups...props to you bro!! peace easy

yeah, when i was looking for brakes the bermbo went for about 2800 for 13", still that's a lot of money compared to the stoptech and rotora now

Changes my mind a lot. Those look awesome too! Can't really tell there's an upgrade with the black rotors behind, the gold looks nice!! I guess i'm becoming a fan now.
