F18,

yep the brembo's are the real deal they call it the BBK (big brake kit) 380mm cross drilled up front and and 340mm rears. Not cheap but overall they added allot to performance and yes they are easy on the eyes too!

JS,

Actually didn't purchase when I had Dinan upgraded. I didn't like the de-tuned look of the Dinan Brembo's too plain. My X is on more juice then Berry Bonds.... Lets see..

Dinan S3 package with all the bells and whistles (2004)
Reduced pulley wheel to increase supercharger boost (2007)
M-5 paddle shift wheel from Mr. Paddle shift (2005)
10.5" wheels front and rear (2006)
K40 Lazer rader jammer (2005)
Escort 8500 x50 back up radar detecor (2006)
Uniden BCD 396T Scanner (2007)
X-pipe (2007)
Bremob BBK (2006)
Roof rack delete (2007)
Carbon Fiber Dash overlay (still have not had time to install)

I think that is about it...

Wish they made an S3 for the 4.8is. Thinking about doing the SMG steering wheel next, just want to find a good deal on a wheel. I'd hate to meet your car on the starting line!

JS,

The steering wheel and brakes were my favorite two mods after the SC of course!!! It used to be a bit of sleeper from stop light to stop light, I'm afraid with the new wheels it makes a bit more of a statement though...

BF,

They look hott! The X is definitely not a sleeper now! Have you been on a dyno with that thing? What type of numbers is that bad boy pumping out?
