Yeah, I have allready purchased the stoptech I was just wondering how they look, and know I know. I think that the stop-tech looks much nicer I allready have 2 sets of 18" wheels and 1 set with 19" wheels.

The guy I purchased the stoptech from is gonna send the breaks from the US today, guess I'll have it next week

RENNtech (rebranded Brembos as far as im aware of)

BREMBO (the rear's need to be special ordered...)

MOVIT (google their website.. EXCELLENT product very rare in the USA)

Well, I bought them from Versus Motorsport. They have a account on ebay, wwwversusmotorsportcom. They seems like a serius company, but the last email I got from them was 2 of january where he said that he would ship the breaks on monday (7 of january) if I paid before, and I paid the 3 of january.

Now, over 2 weeks later I'm still waithing for my breaks. I know they could be stuck in custom or somthing but they could at last answer my emails?! I've asked about a tracking number or if they have shipped them at all. So, if I dont get anything in my mail or an answer this week, looks like I've been screwed

E-mail them again and suggest that you will report them to e-Bay.
How did you pay?

Big Brake Kits are pretty heavy & bulky, I'd say they are caught up in customs or on a slow boat still in transit.
The email thing?? yeah well? maybe he doesn't want to tell you they will arrive in 6-8 weeks.
It's a hard call what to do eh, If it was me I'd sit tight & wait.
How much did you pay $$
