[s-cars] Seeking "Todays" Big Brake Recommendations

[JShadzi at aol.com]

Bill, I've got the 13" Big Reds on my 80 and I love them, and I've been in plenty of UrS4's with Big Reds that stop really well.

The Bira kits are great too.  My impression is that you can call up and have any # of Big Red kits at your doorstep in a day or two for under $2k, the Bira kits take longer to get toghther, and you'll be ordering parts youself and sourcing everything including the bracket (from Bira obviously).  I've got a 2Bennet kit, they run about $2k even, but they are all using 993TT calipers and some sort of Coleman type rotor, and custom CNC'd brackets.

If you don't mind paying the premium for a complete kit, then BR's are the way to go IMO.
