Big Brake Kit Opinions wanted

I'm thinking it's time to start working on a brake upgrade plan and thought I would ask the forum what they've used, what they like and don't like.

I've just started and the only kit I've even looked at is the CPP big brake kit, for those of you that are using this kit or others please give me some feedback.

Thanks,
Z10

I just got the big brake kit from CPP. Its a great complete kit. Only issue was the wait for the rear brakes because the rotors were back ordered.

Let me know if you have any specific questions on the kit or need any additional information, if you decide to go that route.

We'll no matter what kit you end up going with make sure you have everything before hand.

Re: Big Brake Kit Opinions wanted

I went cpp. Probably the most affordabLe "big brake" kit. I'm sure you get better stopping out of the kit but feel its more for show/looks then anything, I would never compare it to wilwood. Cpp uses a single piston caliper that you can get from a parts store.
