I paid over 4k for that Baby big brake kit. Stop tech brakes are incredible. My son is a professional driver and he really likes the balance/brake force on his Z.
No reason it's 4k now, but I agree about the bias. I didn't pay close to that, but I was the first to use the kit.

Didn’t know they were still around. Used to see some pretty cool stuff in their shop when I used to call on them.

This thread made me stick to my SSBC kit, not 100% which kit I have but I searched the part #'s and think I have the HD version which uses the 3/4 tom claipers/pads. they will absolutely not fit in 15" wheel....Not sure if my brackets would work with a gm 1/2 caliper that would be closer to fitting in a 15" wheel.

My rig isn't driving yet, for now planning to run spacers on the front to fit stock steelies.
