Brembo Gran Turismo Kits

Looking for some better brakes for my E430. Been checking out the Brembo GT kits. Anyone using them? Looked at Tire Rack prices. OUCH! Anyone got a contact for better prices?

Anyone using any other decent brake kit? (rotors, calipers, pads, stainless brake lines)

I don't think Richard's are Gran Turismos.....very nice nonetheless

Depending on the design of your wheels, you may not have enough clearance for the big GT calipers.

Thanks Bro'....Lucky me tho, all four corners happen to be the Gran Turismo kit. They are a legitimate performance upgrade over the previous Brembo cross drilled sport rotors I was using...I'm sure you won't be dissapointed Mikey!

This was just on the market 2 days ago for US$500 and sold already! Now I'm really feeling for those C32 kits......Alex, is the rotor really 13.6"? How much bigger is it?

If I'm not mistake, that's almost or just more than 1" bigger than the stock ones right? If so, great, that should fill up the void that's so much more apparent with my current wheels.....please do some decent pics this time:p
