WillWood Big Brake kit

Hi I just bought an r53 and I am looking to put the willwood big brake kit... Do you think $1600 with install is a good price?

BTW The kit includes SS lines, and cross-drilled or slotted rotors...

Which Wilwood kit are you interested in? In all honesty the price seems a bit steep. If you were to get our most expensive Wilwood Kit ($1089) and get it installed at our shop (flat rate of 2.5 hours labor which comes to $187.50) your total would be $1276.50 plus tax, a difference of almost $300 bucks.

How much did they quote you for the kit and the install itself?

I'm kinda with iggy on this one. A Wilwood factory kit with drilled rotors is under a grand.

Guess I'm not getting enough for the labor!

Oh, I found out that It included the price of rear rotors and pads too... I was looking to get a feel on price installation, but i guess even that is still kinda high...

Still sounds a little pricey.
