Brembo big brake kit question

Im thinking about getting one for my car sometime around February...
I was wondering what size i should go for and how much i should expect..(If you guyz know anywhere that i could get the best deal, please tell me~! )
I was gonna go for the evosport Rotor but it seems little overpriced just for the rotors to me...If there is any other company better than Brembo, please
recommend~ Thanks and have a great holiday season~


P.S: Im thinking about getting my calipers in that orangeish bronze color to match my HREs which is charcoal color..what do u guys think?

Go for the evosport rotors, they are a lot more than just bigger rotors, they are also lighter

I'm surprised I've passed English class.
I didn't mean to say they are bigger rotors, they are OE drop ins actually. They are lighter, not ALSO lighter. My mistake.

bmw's seemed to be a little worse in my experience. i put axxis deluxe on my bmw and the dust was reduced by 85%, but they didn't bite as much on inital braking either. i think the stock pads were better for stopping, but they messed up the wheels a lot more too.

Stock calipers on the E55s are made by Brembo, and I think the 2-pc rotors EVO Sport offers are also made by Brembo, so you get a full Brembo setup in a cheaper way.
