So is Avo the only place you can get the 'big brake kit' from? 800 seems a bit rich. I emailed the guy as i thought i could just get the dba's and then get the custom brackets off them but they wont separate them. are the dba's a different rotor or something?

they are custom rotor designed by avo and made by dba for avo. anything custom is not cheap

i had it and sold it. i know have brembos. it was very good. avo is the only place that i know of. there are other brake upgrades you could look for. search the net.

this is the rotor so you can see how big they are on 18's

cool, thanks for the pics. I already have the 4 pots and rear 2 pots so was just thinking of getting that bit more out of them. i could almost get brembos at the front for that price though.. your car looks awesome! are you wheels the sit enkei's? my dream tyre and brake package.. what mods have you done to your car? do you have a club rides post about your car?

cheers

yep, fair enough. very nice ride all the same smile All in all  would you recommend the avo brake upgrade over the std 4 pot setup ? cant afford the brembo enkei package at this point and time but would like to get the best out of the 4 pots. what pads did you run with yours? are the custom rotors expensive to replace?
cheers
