Brake Pros 14" 2 piston front kit

*JayDee* · 05-13-2005, 01:27 PM

Has anyone tried the Brake Pros 14" brake kit?

Are the included calipers much larger than stock? I assume new brackets are included to accomodate the 14" rotor?

Thanks to anyone who can provide some pics!

I have the 14" Brake Pro kit manufactured by Stillen. The included calipers are larger than stock and it is a direct bolt-on to the OEM brackets. Also included in the kit are a pair of braided stainless steel brake lines. Click on the links below my SIG for pics of the install.

How's the pedal feel, no spongyness? Were they reasonably priced?
Thanks.

Pedal feel is greatly improved. No "spongyness". Grabs great when cold or hot!!! Stopping distances are dramatically shortened and accurate.

I use to have the "judders" that pulled every whichway and had my brakes "fixed" twice before 3k miles. I just did not like the idea of waiting until the rotor replacements were available so I bit the bullet. I now have 8.2K miles without problems since the install. I would have gone ahead for the 14" Stillen anyway to upgrade my brakes for increased safety net.

The price is not cheap ($1,300) for the front kit but IMHO is worth the upgrade considering all the expense made to increase HP & torque to go fast.
