Huh? The rear brakes on the 350 are larger than the front brakes on most cars.

He might be referring to the calipers.

There is an engineering reason they're small, but if the problem is how they look then you'll end up replacing all four calipers if you want to maintain balanced stopping power.

Very nice! But IMO waaaaaaay over priced. For that much I could have just bought the 350!

Stoptech kits were having fitment issues with the stock wheels. They were aware and were working on a fix. Don't have any updated info though.

Why not just buy the fronts? Rears barely make any different, it's the fronts that provide most stopping power

You can choose drilled or slotted? Isn't drilled better for heat distribution? And brembos are always over priced. But hey they look good. Any stats on the difference in stopping length from stock?
