you can just get the cobra bbk setup. they should bring the max to a hault very well and the price for it all is definitely right as well.

www.mattblehm.com for brake kits as well.

Are you looking for factory sized Brembo replacement rotors, or are you looking for a true big brake kit?

For $2500, I would hope it isn't just a "prettying up" kit!

You know they make red caliper paint, right? Not that I would want it on my car, but if all you want is red calipers, paint them. If you really want to stop quickly, talk to Jeff or Matt.

there are a host of upgrades that can be done, matt or jeffs kits are a good deal cheaper than the brembo, and part availibility is much greater.

Keep it on the track, or keep it parked.
