Check MbenzNL.com, They have a bolt on brake package that will stop you so fast the seat belt will make your chest look like the grill on a Volvo.

I'd love to go that route, but I can't drop that kind of $$ on this. I'm just looking for something nicer than the stock '03 setup, like maybe the 04.5 fronts, or possibly C32's on each corner ...

c32 setup is about $1K. Evosport has it or buy the parts seperately.

Yup. Me too...
original group buy was like $550.
I think mine were about $700 including tax and shipping.

link to the C32 setup for $1K at Evosport??? All I see are kits for a lot more than that ...

Have talked to coin, but if I can get a complete kit at a reasonable cost I still might go that route ...

Thanks!!!
