I am guessing Brembo and Stoptech are probably the two other options?

Brembo and AP are the two major options. Alcon is the tertiary option.

If you want a cheap BBK; there are plenty of cheaper options, e.g. Buddy Club, Megan, Wilwood, etc.

It's no different from coilovers, but the forum's attitude toward brakes is generally toward the quality stuff.

The problem is I live in Canada and we have so few vendors that the ones who do overprice everything or don't have enough volume to be able to give good pricing on kits, and anything coming out of the US gets hit with exchange rate, plus fees at the border.

I guess I will have to bite the bullet at some point here and throw down the money.

We do ship to Canada, but I'd say around half of our Canadian clientele ask us to ship to a depot south of the border...

Yup. Definitely the best option.

Mike or anyone else. My plan with the car is to make it a very trackable car that is not terrible to drive on the street. Below is my current set up and planned upgrades.

Perrin sway bars - 19mm front, 16mm rear
Bushings: rear subframe bushings, rear diff inserts, rear transmission mount

Braces:
Perrin master cylinder brace
Grimmspeed strut tower brace


Wheels/Tires:
OZ Ultraleggara 17x8s
Bridgestone Potenza RE-11As 235/40/17


Other:

Driveway Labs Type 1 diffuser

We're pretty big fans of Stoptech and have used them for years on a variety of cars. Great on street and track.

How do you like that diffuser at the track? Curious how it affects balance without a front lip or splitter.

Overall, I like it. I think it is extremely helpful on long sweepers. The understeer issues I was having became worse when it was added before getting the camber plates. I am really looking forward to seeing how it performs when I add a splitter in the future. It is not perfect on its own, but I think it is more beneficial than harmful.
