We will be retailing them for $500 +/- as soon as our testing is done. After all I had to go through to figure out what works I am not going to just hand out part numbers.

I bet I know what the brakes are from but in respect for John's time spent into this i'll just leave it at that.

This set up really seems to work great, the car flew! Drive the car around at the track i couldn't even tell that it didn't have the big brakes on, in all truthfulness i forgot the car didn't have brembos until this i saw this thread again.

We'll be making a full post in the next few days with expected availability and actual pricing. As far as how well they work, with basically unbedded pads the car still hauled down from 125+ with no issue. These are a twin piston design, but they are matched well to the Evo master cylinder so they still clamp well.

Lucas ran a 10.82@125ish as well, so they definitely work well.

If these go for 500 bucks then this will be a really good option, only other decent priced option is the Evo JDM RS brakes sold for us.

Yup for the life of me i can't remember the damn website that sold them but they were still about $600+/- when i was looking that's why i went with the AMS/Willwood set-up.

If these are only $500

After tons of research i believe it was the later model eclipse brakes that were said to work.....not sure what the guys at English are using though.

Good stuff

The 2000 Eclipse brakes were a dual piston caliper. Most 2001 and all through 2002-2005 were a single piston caliper but mount exactly the same.
