Here's the response from the e-mail I sent:

"Brembo's are available for the 2007. Completely different from the 2006 and older models. I would not be able to do them for the same price. They will be substantially more. If you would like me to give you a quote, I would be happy to do so."

Add never said anything about 2006 and older models, but whatever. If anyone has an '06 or older, that's a screaming deal...

Yeah I got the same thing back as well. I kinda thought it would be for the older models.

I just got the SSBC big Rotor Kit instead.. Only 385 not to bad. It should be here next day or two and I will load pics of before and after when I put it on.

Changing the subject, but your wheels look perfect, BlackedoutLT3. I know the diameter, but was wondering what width and offset those Boss wheels are?

Oh crap umm I will have to look off hand I don't know.

That's cool...I just ordered a set of Forgeline ZX3Ps from Jon at Driverzinc.com. I photoshopped in the wheel and here's how it will look in 4-5 weeks when my wheels come in. Thanks for your help though. Burb_with_Forgelines.jpg

Blackedout, definitely post pics, but also a review as to your thoughts once you have them installed. I'm not too interested in the looks, but really interested in the most stopping power for my $. Thanks.

SW CT,
Just ordered the SSBC 14" rotors and caliper relocation kit along with Hawk ceramic pads for both front and rear...I expect to see a major improvement in braking.
