i would never get brembo gt kit
they costs much as $3000+ and will need at least16 or 17
you can go w/ SpoonSports kit
which fits within 15 stock perfectly and it's still 4piston caliper
at 1/3of brembos
but if you still want brembo w/o spending $3000
you can go to junkyard and look for 04 TL w/ 6speed manual
they come w/ brembos as standard
but will need 17's at least!!!
i'd recommend picking up 04 TL wheels while you get TL brembos
SAY WHAT???

Spoon calipers are around 1400 for the pair.
But need a spacer to fit stock wheels.
and as for the 04 TL set up do you have proof that they fit on?
also why would anyone want to put a heavy 17 inch rim on?

sorry about my earlier post
i got my set of spoon for $1100 from IPS while ago so i assumed that's how much it will be
and yes, i can't back up that TL brembo will be bolt on but i heard people doing/trying it so i was giving some possible choices
also about the TL rims, i only said it because if you were to pick up brembo from junkyard you'd be picking them up for cheap while you were at it. never said you HAVE to get TL rims to clear TL brembos
sorry about my misleading info/post

Thanks for the input ! here's the plan...
Ice Box, DC JDM 4-1 Header - ceramic , Apexi V-AFC2, DC Exhaust.

FYI - the rep at apexi said the single best mod to go with the vafc2 would probably be a racing cam.
