Turbo'd tc = ? brake setup
For those of you guys running a turbo kit, what kind of brake setup do you recommend? I don't ever take my car to the track, so I don't really see the need for a complete big brake kit. But I was just wondering what everyone else is running/ recommends.

The money you'd spend on the Front Rotors...Steel Braided Brake Lines...Calipers...Brake Fluid...you might as well buy the whole kit.

i take my car to the canyons alot so i bought some goodridge ss lines for 98 bucks shipped. After every run, i bleed the brakes and top it off with fresh DOT 4 fluid. I have aftermarket drilled slotted rotors cuz they look cool, but do nothing for performance.
I don't have any problems with the setup i have, and it only costs a total of 250 bucks.

haha yeah i had a tiny bit a mess up with the shipping... but in the end worked out for me! they shipped me 3 quarts of trans fluid instead brake fluid. by the time i got the brake fluid i was doing my brakes and then a couple weeks later i had the transfluid when i installed a clutch and flywheel!
