Default Steeda's brake upgrade kit for SN-95 Mustangs

I read an article in 5.0 Mustang magazine that mentioned a brake upgrade from Steeda that included Two Brembo 4-piston calipers, pads, two new 13" Power Slot rotors and braided stainless lines for $995...but I can find it on the Steeda website. Is anyone familiar with this kit?? If not, is there a comparable kit from another company for under $1000? I want to upgrade my brakes before I install a power adder.

Thanks

Look at some of these: (would like to know exactly what make/model you're driving)

and you have to look at the Baer Eradispeed+1 rear kit, drilled/slotted rotors w/special bracket that moves stock caliper outboard - this should be about $250-260 dollars and is waay cheap; check my gallery for shots.

I've been told that if you upgrade to 4-piston calipers on the front then you must upgrade the rear to 2-piston to balance the brakes ??? Any truth to this ??

I sell the Baer kits if you guys are interested. About $600 for the front track kit. For the eradispeed rears it's about $210. I have the front track kit and I'm waiting on some more cash to pick up the rear kit.

That's a super upgrade for little more than $800; really happy w/mine. One of my rears (Eradispeed+1)shows more rust/markings on the zinc-washed 'hat' between the wheel mounting surface and the actual braking area after less than 1,000 miles; discussed w/Springfield Motorsport and Baer will warranty the rotor. Baer also offers powdercoating for the rear rotors (steal at $60 pr) so I ordered complete 2nd kit w/powercoated rotors and will warranty first set; gives me essentially new kit to sell.

im thinking about getting some upgraded rotors for the front and a new rear brake kit for my car. what would be a good kit for my car without spending my life savings. im planning on stocking up on some parts over the winter to throw on my car in the spring. brakes (at least new rotors) is one thing. i'll be buying gears and an s281 spoiler, and my springs are already here. mmmm...i love the spring. winter SUCKS!

Good price from Matt on the Baer's
also look: Holcomb Motorsports, 800-475-RACE, shows Ford drilled/slotted F&R Cobra 13" for $209.95/199.95 prs.
Dave's Mustang Parts: 888-345-8393, always has good prices, unusual selection.
http://secure.50resto.com/product1.c...tegory_ID=1191 - Ford rotors, same as above but $199/189 prs.
www.steeda.com has Powerslots (not drilled) for $149 ea.
http://www.hopupracing.com/brakes54.html
if go to EBay motors, 'brakes', and search for 'mustang' there are some 'no-brand-name' rotors, your call as to whether you want to trust them, I'd prefer the Baer or Ford items. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...938494903&rd=1
