Default Brembo big brake kit compatibility with OEM wheel

Hello S2ki,

It's time for a brake job on my S2000 and the dealer quoted me well over a grand for a oem brake upgrade including OEM rotors, pads, labor and a brake flush for all 4 wheels (actually they wanted just under 2 grand). I am now considering buying the Brembo Big Brake Kit or the Wilwood one.

I couldn't seem to find information however on whether either of these kits are compatible with my wheels? I have the OEM 17" wheel for a 2008. Also I was wondering if the rear big brake kit for either Wilwood or Brembo would still enable me to retain my emergency brake as I read somewhere that the Stoptech kit wouldn't allow this.

Does anyone have any advice on this or point me in the right direction to get my answer

none fit oem 17" wheels

find a local mechanic through the forums to do your oem brake job. $2k is beyond ripoff. Centric rotors cost less than $200 for all 4. Nice brake fluid is $15. oem pads are maybe $125 for 4. Labor is VERY easy.

yeah I would call the person at the dealer who gave you that quote and tell them to suck it, then find a shop where you can bring your own rotors and pads. 1k for brakes even using the overpriced oem discs is absolute crap, and for 2k you could have a BBK for the front and a nice rear setup.

this is what i would run:

rotors

OEM AP1 pads for normal road use unless you are tracking

^^what they said. That is the most outrageous quote I have ever heard for a brake job. You call it an OEM upgrade in your intro, but this sounds like a regular brake job to me .

While you're in there flushing out fluid, make sure you replace with a good DOT 4 brake fluid.
