Brembo finally
I have been waiting patiently for almost 2 months now since I placed my order for the Brembo. Tomorrow will be the day that I put them on. I'll post some pics ASAP if anyone is interested.

Did you get fronts only or the rear as well? I've been looking for Brembos and was told that
322mm kit is no longer available. I'm assuming you got the 355mm kit, right? Anyways, keep us posted. We're very interested.

In a C&D aftermarket brake comparison, they indeed confirmed the superiority of Stoptech ->
as compared to slightly more expensive Brembos, and a couple of other brands.
Possibly the <i>only</i> drawback to Stoptech calipers is the need to unscrew an extra piece when changing brake pads. But, I suppose that's a small price to pay for a less expensive, better performing caliper!

322mm they are...
because 355mm won't fit into the std 17" wheel (non-twin spoke). I am getting the front, steel liner all round and changing the rear pads to Brembo (not the caliper) and was told that this kit was developed especially for the AR and was only available a few months earlier. Regardless or whether the info are true or not, I am sure they will be a huge improvement over the stock brakes. Fingers-crossed ..... :-)

Re: Where are you getting the kit from?
Not at all. I think it works out to be around $3,000 just for the brakes as I am getting a few more things done at the same time. I am not living in US BTW.
