If you plan on adding good power in the future or you drive really aggressive. The brake pkg is the way to go. I went with the Stop.Tech pkg and loooooooovve it.

voted, personally if you dont have sports brakes I would choose the brake upgrade than a replica kits.
i think the the full kit of replica cost around 1600? with that money, i would look into some authentic varis, topsecret, or mines lip.

Wonka, you have a nice blend of "show" and "go" mods already. But I voted for more "go" with brakes and tune!

karotZ · 04-30-2013, 09:46 AM

Voted for brakes, safety first.

GSS138 · 04-30-2013, 09:59 AM

Absolutely brakes. Spend the money on the real deal.

edconline · 04-30-2013, 10:00 AM

Brakes. If I saw a car with an amuse kit and base brakes I might have a stroke.

OP, if you decide to invest money on BBK, get StopTech instead of Akebono. StopTech is better BBK.

Brakes.....That is what I do to all my Cars before I modify anything else...

gomer_110 · 04-30-2013, 11:30 AM

Brakes then suspension bits with what's left

RoshDawg · 04-30-2013, 11:37 AM

You can't have that bangin of a body kit without proper brakes!

G37sHKS · 04-30-2013, 11:55 AM

Or get the red Brembo caliper covers for now till saved up enough money to get a set of real BBK.

How much would at BBK or stoptech kit run me? Keep in mind I will only be on the street with a track day every year or so.

For street use, Akebono(or even base brake) would be enough IMHO. The stoptech will run you 3-4k brand new. But they are really solid on the track. Or slightly used one would be very nice too. For example,
