  Hi,
  anyone here who modify or enhances their brakes like to brembo?
  
  I got one contact who quotes me 4k for a complete set. I would like a 2nd opinion, if anyone can advice.

  1) Do you need it,
  2) Brake failure can mean death, are you willing to take the risk
  3) for 4K you can get a orginal brembo, yo dont need modify brake kit
  4) your braking is only as good as the grip of your tyres

  What kind of power is ur car pushing?
  
  How many pots are u currently running?
  
  Brakes consist of many components?
  Will a steel braided hose be suffice?
  If u change to more pots and larger pistons, can u rims accomodate the new rotor and calipers?
  U will have to have the adaptors and bolts to fit the new set up.
  
  When u mention a complete set at 4K, is it the front only?
  If so, u gotta look at the brake bias as well.
  
  2 cents worth before this thread gets outta hand.
