You might want to check with Comptech to see how their kit is coming along too.

I have a simple question, what will a bigger break kit do for our car? I can't see the switch being of much of an advantage. Someone want to enlighten me?

I hope everyone realizes that cross-drilled and slotted rotors actually weaken the rotor and make it more prone to cracking under high heat conditions, such as at a race track. If you want to lower the brake pad temperatures, you have to either add a cooling mechanism or add mass to the rotor so it can better absorb the heat.

Here is a helpful link:
