Brake Upgrade

I want to buy either a Baer or Brembo brake upgrade kit for my GTA.
Can anyone recomend a place to buy them from and which size you have used yourselvesor think is the best value?

Thanx

IIRC the Baer kit is a little cheaper than the Brembo. What size wheels do you have? The Baer Track Kit uses 13" rotors so you'll need 17" wheels. The Sport Kit uses 12" rotors (they take the 13" rotor and machine it down) and will work with 16" wheels.

The Sport kit is $100 more than the Track due to the machine work.

You should be able to buy direct from Baer unless you can find a distributor who might be able to get you a better price.

Thanx BretD
I am going with 17in wheels. So I could use the larger diameter rotors. What about the pro, pro+ or extreme+? Is that overkill?

Also, do you know which vendors carry them for third gens?
Regards
