Maybe, maybe not. You yourself know what assumptions will lead to. Either way I think its way too much to pay without stipulating that they will mostly likely require additional expenses. I doubt that most wheels will be able to accomodate if your statement is correct.

But then again you appearently know more about this than meets the eye. I'm sure you wouldn't mind clarifying this for the rest of the uninitiated and are not just basing your facts/opinion on the installed price listed.

amdeutsch: This kit is the Gran Turismo Big Brake Kit from Brembo, one of the best brakes in the market. Personally I think the price is very good and the labor is included.

With a rotor size of 14" or 355mm those are the larger of the two available Brembo Grand Turismo brakes. The MSRP is $3300. The smaller 332mm brakes have an MSRP of $3000. Evosport lists them at $3440 and $3160.

One more thing, the 355mm rotors require the use of 18" wheels.

actually 355mm rotors wont fit in all 18" rims. only like HREs the ones that are designed for big brake clearance. i just put the Brembo 14" GTs on my car a few days ago. list price is $3295. i wish i coulda fit the brembo 15" GT with 8-piston calipers!! that woulda been pimp.

No need to as the rating of these brakes had not been in question. Unlike you I wanted to make sure that others will have the correct info.

AMG split spoke 18" will allow for brembo calipers, the main concern is the distance from rotor to back side of spoke, most of the bridge type calipers use only a piston on the inside of disc, not leaving enough room outside for the massive opposing piston brembo caliper, you need pretty much a minimum of 2" from inner spoke to disc surface

i think you misinterpreted what i said. i said that 355mm (14") wont fit in all 18" rims. there are smaller sizes that will fit no problem.

well guy, maybe someone who is actually interested in buying them might not want to be limited as to what wheels he has to use, instead of having to hear opinions from people who dont know their *** from a hole in the ground or people with worthless contributions
