What is the best brake setup you can get ? ( he wants the best of the best )

and also he wants to see some photos of Rims, these are what his asking for:

a) How can you spell suspension wrong when it is written above your post as the section title?

b) What do you mean "the whole thing is shocking"? Stock GTT brakes are damn good and stock suspension for street use is hardly bad.

c) Best of the best brakes? Do you mean simply a brake pad and rotor upgrade? Because best of the best brakes is implying a $10,000+ brake setup. I used to get people coming into Autobarn back in the day saying the same thing. "I want the best of the best, no matter what!". These are the types of people that know absolutely nothing about cars and have no idea about pricing.

Seriously, do your own reasearch. All of your questions are answered on these forums and this is why no one has bothered to answer you. Not to mention your questions are EXTREMELY vague.

See photos of rims? How about Google images, there's a start.

Don't mean to come of rude, but with a topic like this, it is hard not to.

umm, without knowing genuine intention to use the car, it is hard to say.

best of the best, I guess if budget was $40k+ I could come up with the best brakes and suspension I can think of. But perhaps the budget is less?

Hey guys thank-you for your replies and I understand how stupid this was after I posted it, I was trying to be brief and well that didn't go down well . So ill explain so it makes a bit more sence .

When I said " it was all shocking " , the car was purchased at $5,500 so you can just imagine the condition it is in. He explained to me the car is going to be a long build and his budget is unknown all I know is he has money to blow .

Now I know about pricing on most things, but I have not the slightest idea on anything to do with suspension and braking systems so I ran to these forums for help, ( without doing any other research, which is my bad ) .

Now the car is being used mainly for city driving, but he wishes to eventually go to the track a few times so he wishes to have a setup which will hold up well .

I took a look at his rotors this afternoon and the have been machined a tad bit to much and his pads were destroyed and unfortunately nothing is open really on a Sunday.

So as far as I know his aiming to replace it all sometime soon, and spend big $$$ so if those questions can be answered now should be all sweet .

Oh and sorry for my effortless post above, and stupid spelling

Do a decent rotor and pad upgrade with braided lines and new fluid and it should do the job. No need to spend huge money there. Do a search on DBA and RDA rotors. Brake pad opinions will vary a lot but there are plenty of good threads about them.

Get a set of aftermarket coilovers in something like Bilstein, Tein, GReddy etc.

MOST importantly, get a GOOD set of tyres on it as this is the basis for handling and braking performance.

Also look into a camber adjustment kit, castor adjustment kit, swaybars, HICAS lock kit, diff pineapples etc.

Search all the keywords I have written and spend a good solid few hours reading and researching.

All the info is here.

Also, if he has a lot of money to spend, why on earth did he buy a GTT for $5500? I once looked at a cheap GTT that my mate was looking at for $15,000 a couple of years ago and the car had that much rust on it we didn't even bother taking it for a test drive.

I think he got it of someone he knew and he saw it as a good deal
