you may get what you pay for to a degree, but just because endless races doesn't mean this is the best kit out there. It seems really quick for any kit to be released that is truely designed for this car. I suspect that they took an off the shelf caliper with a standard piston size, and made a mounting bracket. That's not exactly the same as maximizing the braking system with high dollar parts. brake bias, pistons size, brake booster, etc all have to be addressed. For $8k you could get tilton pedals, master cyl, and really nice billet calipers with upsized rotors for the car.

Not saying these are junk, but until someone unbiased tests them, I wouldn't think this is the best use of $8k...
