I am planing to run 24.5" M&H slicks with 4.11 gearing on my Evo, so I am in the market for a front brake kit which will fin under 15" wheels.
My initial plan was to keep the original look as much as possible, If I can find a 24"ish slick which will fit in 16" wheels I will go with that but I coudn't find any so I guess I am going to run 15" slicks at the track, 18" wheels on the road.
Thanks to STM they listed the weight of the original brakes; "with slightly worn pads and rotors, the OEM assembly (per side) weighs 31.6 pounds. Each OEM rotor was 21.6."
My car will be driven on highway and need high speed braking power I guess AMS Rally Kit is more suitable for me even it is slightly heavier than the others.
1- Brake Man Drag Kit $2090
2- STM / Willwood Drag Kit $1050 / $1100
3- AMS / Willwood Drag Kit $1199.95
4- AMS / Willwood Rally Kit $1649.95
5- English Racing Small Brake Kit $570.00
