I believe you can upgrade to sport brakes with the correct calipers, rotors, lines, and brackets... not sure if the booster/cylinder is different though. IMO more worthwhile to get it from the factor though as it would come with the other sport options and would be warrantied.

so i cant just get bigger calipers? like the pics i posted on the first msg? everything has to be replaced? cant just slap them on? or do you know any big calipers the size of akebono or brembo a set for around 1K to 1.5K? i just wanted bigger calipers, and spending the extra 4K for the sport package would have been useless for me, because i plan on buying new rims

didnt know bigger calipers would be this much trouble.. gota a headache now...

Big Brake Kit gonna cost you around $2k - $3k, I rather you take the sports package for $4k and sell the OEM 19' when they are brand new and add some money to buy another set of rims.

Plus the S-mode, VLSD and rear spoiler...

You can't just buy "bigger calipers"... bigger calipers require bigger rotors, bigger pads, bigger brackets, and shorter lines. The parts sold seperately would cost significantly more than the package itself.

but M just said and showed a link for the kit being 1395 though? cant i just buy that? if its actually that price, ill even give them an extra $100, maybe not, but that price for the whole kit is AMAZING?

is that kit all i need? oh man.. sounds too good to be true, the whole kit for $1395

Talk to the sales rep and explain the situation. If he did not inform you about the specs on the car you were getting or gave you wrong information then I would expect him to make it right.. If you just went in there and ordered the car without asking questions though.. that's another story

do they ship to canada? im in a hurry so i couldnt check, sorry for asking a such a stupid question i can easily get an answer, but im super excited.

for brake pad options, i have no idea what those are

and

do i really need to spend an extra $90 for Z1 stainless steel brake lines?

i dont want to spend too much, but will as long as its no where near 3K. because if im going to spend over a 1K on important things like brakes on a brand new car, than i wont be stingy over an extra grand or so

THANKS ALOT FOR THE FIND Mke

Ron 04-06-2012 11:10 AM

yes they will ship to Canada.. From what I can tell you only care about the brakes looking pretty behind a wheel.. if so, don't get the SS lines.

MattP725 04-06-2012 12:16 PM

Yeah but the point I was trying to make is that the Sport package actually works out cheaper because the wheels consistently sell for around $1000, it would cost somewhere around $300-400 to add the spoiler (replica), probably $500-1000 for a used VLSD, easily 1k+ for the brakes (complete) and the synco-rev is priceless because I don't think you can add it after... your not even adding in the other little things like the chin spoiler/diffuser. You are spending approx 1/2 the price of the package on the one component and that is just for looks according to you.

You are about to spend $1400 on the BEST low end BBK and its really that much of a hassle to make them more dependable and stop shorter for $90 extra? So for you a BBK is purely cosmetic??? Why not save some cash and get riced out caliper covers? Brembo makes a quality set that will fool most.
