I saw his BBK. Love it, but I'm looking to buy brand new since I don't want to spend more money getting pads and discs.

Acura TL type s brembo calipers. Racing brakes 2 piece rotors
- I would recommend an actual BBK over take-offs that require work.
- I would not recommend Racing Brake. On top of seeing rotors fail online, I witnessed this a month or so ago at my local track.
Wow that is crazy. Do you know if those are the NSX Rotors designed to work with the Accord Caliper upgrade?
I'm running the Accord Calipers and the RB Hat with NSX Rotors.
You got me worried now.
Who has the best price on StopTechs?

This was a nearly new kit on a supercharged E46 M3. The kit was less than 30 days old an on it's 3rd track day and then it let go.
I posted these on another thread showing catastrophic failure with RacingBrake on a CTS-V. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2614743

Wow that's pretty horrible.. Summit Main is a local track for me, good thing that didn't happen going into the braking zone for turn 1 (in a CTS-V he'd proly be at ~140). That could've been really ugly.
I'm going w/ a stoptech kit for next year in the front, but debating on what to do w/ the rear. I was considering a RB rear kit (assuming it's not discontinued), and it SHOULD be "ok" seeing how it's just the rear, but doesn't give you the warm and fuzzies seeing stuff like this.

Yeah i've started inquiring about a StopTech kit for the front.
Trying to decided on the regular ST40, 328mm kit or the Trophy Sport Kit. Saving a few pounds might pay off in the long run.
I think for the rears I'm gonna stock stock for now and try to install some cooling over the winter.
