BBK Choices
What do you guys think about Big Brake Kits? I'm looking for a kit mainly (almost fully ) for looks. What are your thought on brand, build quality, customer service and replacement parts when it comes to making a selection. Can you guys give any advice? I'm considering Wilwood F/R at the moment. JDM is nice but $$$$.
thanks guys!

I've been EXTREMELY pleased with my Jun setup and people love them at meets/events/shows and even regular people giving compliments. Stopping power is incredible, like dropping anchors and there is no such thing as fade with them (though I have not tracked the vehicle with the brakes). They do squeak like many BBKs especially when cold initially.
Overall very VERY happy with them and will always get a BBK from now on.
All the brands rominl stated are also on point.

When you say JDM, do you specifically mean the Supra TT brake swap? Or Aristo brakes?
I can't speak for Brembo or Stoptech personally ( I have supra brakes on my car as we speak), but it truly seems like everyone who starts with anything other than those two, AND tracks or auto-x's end up upgrading to Brembo or Stoptech. I know you said you mainly want them for looks, but that's something to consider. Brembo's are supposed to be very light as well, they have aluminum calipers. I don't know much about the Stoptechs.
My Supra TT brake swap was VERY inexpensive (I thought so at least), In all I spent about $1500 buying all the parts.

I have a 3GS so the options are limited. Brembo and StopTech look great but cost too much for me right now. I might get Wilwood.
Thanks to all that have replied!!
