Cool Advice on Brake Kits

Looking to upgrade my stock brakes on a 2007 GS 350.
Anyone have any suggestions on big brake kits that are a good mix of performance and affordability?

Big brake kits can get expensive, the cheapest route would be getting more aggressive pads. The majority of the time don't expect a drop in stopping distance but more of a fade resistance.

I have ksports. reasonbly priced.. you might need to shave your knuckle holes just a tad to get them to fit though.

I just placed an order for Stoptech brakes. I'm a big fan of there stuff and they are much cheaper then Brembo kits with the same performance.

yup, i had stoptech on my sc430 and honestly it's been one of the best setup i have had. not to mention it's cheaper like you said. post back and let us know how it goes!

though one thing i am curious. i don't think stoptech has direct setup for the 3gs, coz' they are the supplier for fsport brakes?

are these actual Stoptechs for GS3? during my quest no one wanted to sell me a pair b/c I had to go thru with Fsport instead.
