If you look around you can save some money. I know the kit can be bought with everything for around 3000K I have been doing some searching and I have found some really good deals. I am saving up for the upgraded 15's and I am selling the rears brand new in the box $300 Just need to finish payment on the front calipers, need the front brackets, lines and to put them on..

i are not JYD. but i have noticed in some of the other threads about these that some serious grinding has to be done to the calipers to make them fit. dunno if i really want to hack up my pretty new calipers.

Well, it is a good thought. However, allot of the problem is actual rotor availability. When the brackets were initially designed, they were built around a fairly easily obtainable rotor. Take a good look at the pic’s with the 14" Powerslot's. The caliper is brought down as far as it could go without hitting the center hub. If a rotor could be found with a smaller dia. hub/hat, then the caliper brackets could be tweaked a little more, bringing the caliper in. Then slightly smaller wheels could even be used. I also went from the 14 incher's to the 15's and can honestly say, I wouldn't have it any other way now.
