4 piston front and back.. Mike has them for cheaper than what I got quoted from other stoptech dealers and some even told me they weren't available, I will be purchasing a set from him before to long.. I am going to put my Brembos up in the classifieds, I had the back installed today and I don't like the look of them.. I want 14" in front and back, I just need to get it measured to make sure they are going to fit..

Cool! Can't wait to see them. I drool everytime I see them. I am only planning the fronts. Mike is a cool guy. You won't be disappointed dealing with him.

If you are interested in a 14" Brembo kit I will cut you a good deal, heh.. they have been on for approx a month, I would have to check the exact date though..

I don't think they'd fit my L-Tuned wheels. That is why I was limited to StopTech (and Rotora but I decided on StopTechs). Besides, it would probably be cheaper to get the StopTechs over the Brembos.

phluid -- yep, what Neo said. Got mine at PLP, 14" cad plated rotors and 4 piston calipers front/rear. I am very happy with the look -- the muted silver rotors and black calipers go perfect with the gun metal volks. BTW, Neo is the one that hooked me up.

Chris, your setup looks awesome. I'm so glad I got a chance to talk to you and see them at the No. Cal meet. Nice choice in color too!

On a side note: At the meet, my girfriend took a pic of your car and she came back to me and asked why I didn't have the big "pretty" brakes in the rear too... I had to laugh... I told her that if I went with that setup, I couldn't afford all the Tiffany's jewelry she wants. ** I think she got the hint**

That was pretty smooth Ken

I want to see the Rotora ones first. From my personal expirence they are much nicer and more helpful people then StopTech.

But your girl friend would look great with a 14" cad-plated & drilled rotor around her finger, don't you think? Anyway, it was great to finally put a face to the name/car -- you have one heck of a setup!
