[QUOTE="WP64, post: 9216903, member: 75984"] I can understand upgrading for looks, but the system should be balanced as Bruce points out. Those big brake systems are heavy and expensive, but they do have big bling appeal; when I was rocking the AP Racing big brake set-up people noticed, even import guys, now that I have the Sierra/Griggs 4on4 system not so much. Personally, if you are concerned about performance, the stock system can be greatly improved upon with SS line, 2-piece rotors, better pads and fluid; this will work perfectly for 95% of GT500 owners and their driving styles and track days. My advise to the OP is save your money, spend what you would pay for a Baer or AP set-up on upgrading the stock brake system and invest the rest into better suspension parts. But yeah, those AP's do look nice, anyone want to buy my old AP set-up? The CCW wheels with Michelin PS2 tires are for sale too... [ATTACH=full]1161017[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
