[DML] Re: Big Brakes - cost

["stainlessilusion" <5n-@xxxxxxx>]

$3,200 dollars for a complete brake kit seems a little steep - for a bit more I can get a performance engine.... What is the benefit of your new kit? How does it compare to the old calipers? I have stock calipers and John's rotors and personally I can't be happier. Basically I'm trying to find out why I should spend $3200 dollars for brakes when my car stops fine now. Nothing against new parts, but a new performance engine I can see upgrading to; new brakes I'd need to know more figures on how it's an upgrade. It appears to be a very impressive kit, how is the installation? -----Dani B. #5003
