Big Brake Upgrade Review

Scott at bigbrakeupgrade.com was nothing short of fantastic in his service. He answered every question I had regarding different brake kits and whether or not they would fit on my car with the wheel I had chosen. When I finally decided on a brake kit and needed a refurbished set of spindles modified to fit my specific kit he did the work for me. I sent out my caliper brackets and once he received them, he finished my spindles and sent the out to me the same day, for far less than a lot of other vendors as well. When I got them they were beautifully done and the brake kit bolted up to them perfectly. I can't say enough good things about Scott and my experience with him.

I should get my kit from him tomorrow. His customer service is great. I know I had a ton of questions for him with different options/scenarios. Can't wait to get it all installed.

I did the c5 kit also and it can awesome. No install issue at all. The hardest part was the trip to fastenall to buy the tap....
And the brakes work awesome.
