I'd really like to get a set of gran turismo brembo brakes just for looks, the factory brakes are very good for the way I drive. I did a track day locally and didn't experience any fade after several laps.

NYC Drift King: The Stoptechs are 355mm (14"), right? Or do they offer multiple diameters? I'm looking to build a kit.
