Brembo 6-piston caliper: $2,100
- includes lines / brackets
- pads
Part #: 1N0.8002A2

We don't know if they'll clear the OEM 18's however.

Choice #2
Price: $3,000
Stoptech 6-piston BBK with 355mm / 14" rotors

-----------------------------------------------------

I don't know if stoptechs will work with your dba rotors. As for the brembos, stay away from them for a track car!
1. the caliper has to be removed to change the pads, there is no removable bridge on them, a real pain in the butt.

2. without extensive grinding of the edges, they will not clear 18s (at least 350z Rays 18s)

3. In conjunction with stock rear akebonos, you will wear out rear pads 3 sets for every one set of fronts and they aren't very well balanced for the track.

I speak from experience
