I'm not the one setting up this deal, but a true "Big Brake Kit" with upsized rotors, new, multiple piston calipers, caliper brackets, steel braided lines, can run upwards of $1500-$2500 depending on the kit.
Now, a kit that uses the stock calipers with adapters and merely adds bigger rotors is going to be more affordable.
I don't mean to dissuade anyone from getting these parts, but I also want to let you guys know what to expect... Bigger rotors don't necessarily mean harder, shorter stopping distances. Bigger rotors will, however, offer more fade resistance and more consistent stops from one stop to the next.
I'd like to hear what this kit can consist of, and like what everyone has been asking for, the price.
Wilwood is right up there with brembo.. personally I like wilwood better because there quality/product is the same but the price is less.
Depends on the wheels wether the rotor will fit or not. Some 16"may fit.. though very few. Nearly all 17"wheel will fit. I'll see if they can even possibly do different styles.
Price will be more than 1,000usd.. thats all I know right now.

I'll see if they can also just get bigger disk with stock calipers for people that want the look, some of the performance, without the cost.
I disagree.. although I've never had a big brake kit I see no reason why they wouldnt stop you faster. Also with stainless steel lines the brake pedal feel will be much nicer.
Alright thanks kinky. I think I will pass on theses as I don't plan on going any bigger than 16" on my car. But I will send in an "inquire" to wilwood about making brakes for the Suzuki Forenza/Reno. They, wilwood, already make brakes for the Suzuki Aerio so it shouldn't be to hard to at least spark their interest in making the brakes them selfs. I just hope that they are not 330mm rotors, but more like 288mm lol.

Just wounder, would you pay 1,000 for the biggest brakes that can fit 16" wheels? If so.. then I'll talk to them about it for you.
I would say that there would be a very high chance that would. But I won't be getting them for awhile tho. I am waiting to when I am almost done paying off my car before I start doing real mods to the car. Plus I don't exactly have $10,000 to spend all at once either as I am saving money to move out. And I know you will get more info later, but the only thing I am more interested in since you answred most of them already, is the replacement pads. Where I would go to get them, unless the brakes uses the same size pads.
