Hoping to revive this thread a little. Looking at doing front stoppers for my Octy..

Could you please go in to a little more detail on this option? Like what would each component likely cost, and what would be easy to install myself (lots of experience on hydro pushy brakes... dunno if that'll help).

I also saw on a website the GTJunior front brembo kit, at 995euros... wonder what that gonna cost here.. I am keen to upgrade to a brand other than the luxurious brembos, but want to make sure it will be better than the above option. My VRS definately feels like it could stop a lot quicker, and with less of a push of the foot. Especially after sitting in for a stop test in my mates skyline with the massive brembos, and he was just 'toying with it'!!!!

Really I dont take the car to the track, but I want the look, and more importantly want to reduce stopping distance for emergency. I do get a bit of fade already on 5-10 mins mountain descents.
