calipers do lots, if you have the tyres, rotors, and pads to match.
lol.

IMO, i don't reckon it's worth buying the JDM DC5R Brake package, Unless you can pick it up for dirt cheap.

I dunno man..........................

braided brake lines are more bling than bigger calipers

really? always thought it was brake pads, braided lines (for track), rotas, calipers

order of best gain in performance....

braided lines just reduce brake fade...

from memory the last complete set up was about $2500, that was with rear knuckles (i think its the knuckles, may be the hub) aswell, cos if u just do the front, youll have different offsets front to rear

I'll keep them for now and look at the upgrade further down the track. I'm replacing rotors and pads next week so I'll see how that goes. I would like to get them on the car eventually but I have more pressing mods for now.

Anyone know where I can get the LCAs, driveshafts and hubs?

If your after a spoon caliper setup including the LCA, hubs and knuckles and front sway bar, I've got a full set for $2000firm that will bolt straight up to an AUDM DC5R.

Mate thats one of those question, i hope you wouldnt try everything to find out~

er... interms of name wise, brembos are miles louder than Spoon ones. However for US, AUDM DC5 owners would b a better choice (well at least i had set my mind on one) cos is straight bolt on. Easier and cheaper.

Perfomrace is hard to say.. simply i dont care much so i wont say its better. Personally i know will be an improve from OEM and das worth all the bucks.

Also, personally i think BLUE Caliper is so BLING~~ goes so well with CW!!!

A mate on clubitr has a set of Alcon 335mm x 28mm rotors with Alcon 4 pot calipers for sale for 2500 bucks and they are direct bolt ons. That would be a better option and have more stopping power than the jdm brembos.
