Who knows.

I heard Fastbrakes revised their kit for better fitment, and I'm still waiting for Cheston to finish his...

Fastbrakes = Wilwood

The fastbrakes kit _is_ a Wilwood kit, 12.2" 2pc (lighter) rotors and Superlite calipers.

There was another company (can't remember the name) that had another Wilwood kit, 13" 1pc (heavier) rotors and Dynalite (lower end?) calipers.

Both included at least calipers, pads and rotors

Whats the chance of getting one of these brake systems with out their logo on it. I've seen the fast brakes pictures and it looks cool except the "fast brakes" on it. Kind of an oxy-moron.

All the aftermarket calipers I have seen have a name on them of some sort. There may be a way to remove it but I can't help you with that.

logo

The only logo I know of is the stylized Wilwood logo on the calipers.
The fastbrakes site seems to be reinstalling Apache, so I can't look at the moment to confirm. I think that Chunger's writeup had very clear pics

We need an affordable bigger brake kit than our OEM rotor/caliper package, but something not as expensive as the 13.1" Brembo kit.

I am interested in upgrading everything up front, but realistically don't have 2k USD for something that really isn't necessary on our cars anyways. There is only a handfull of maxima owners that can really utilize the full potential of a 4-piston or larger big brake kit.

Let me know when there are prices for that Precision Big-Brake kit...the 12.2 package.

You guys may want to contact Steve at Frankencar. If I remember right, he can get good deals on these kits.
