<center><img src="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h257/nicklepics/The%20Cars/IMG_3263.jpg"></center><p>... but not looking to drop $2000 on Stoptechs. I would love to, but don't have that much money chill'n in the bank account.
The reason for this upgrade is that my right front caliper is sticking which gives me the excuse for an upgrade WITH calipers. Might as well go bigger than the 12.1" A8 upgrade.
So, my options are the ECS Stage II version 2 and the RPI Equipped 13" Race Brake Kit. Both utilize 13" rotors and 4 piston calipers. Both kits are $1600 which is the ceiling of my budget.
Here's the reason for this post. Are there other options available that use a 13" rotor and fall under the $1600 mark? Will either kit have any issues clearing my 18x8 BBS RX's with 32 et? Does anyone have any experience with either kit? Are there some pics available that show massive 13" rotors filling 18's? (I'm a sucker for pics so this is your opportunity to show off your goods)

you can always source a pair of 2nd hand boxster calipers... and get the rest of your bits n pieces from purems. Retains the same rotors as the A8 upgrade... and you can sell off the TT carriers to offset the cost of new calipers.
