If you look at the other thread:

The AMG brake kit is less dustier than a non-AMG brake kit, it's also got amazing stopping power. 13" Brembos, once you go Brembo on one car, you'll want them on all your cars!

No, that just means you need a minimum of a 17" rim to fit it.

$695 is the price right now w/o shipping. We are trying to get more people to add to the group buy. That way when I present it to Ben or whoever at Evosport, they might be able to give us a discount because we have so many people buying the same product.

It still has a lot of brake dust. If you want to eliminate it to where it's almost non-existent, get the Porterfield brake pads.

Less brake dust....

Porterfield pads.....more expensive ($130 for front) but worth it.
