Fieroguru Performance will be closed for the remainder of 2015 and most likely 2016, so its probably better to consider it closed indefinitely.

To celebrate my LS4/F40 swap nearing completion, the first 10 brake kits (any level) purchased in March will be sold at a reduced price. Any level of a full car kit will be $75 off and the Front Only levels will be $50 off. This sale will end on March 31st, 2013 or after 10 kits have been sold - whichever comes first.
Here is the price list (shipping included) with these reductions included:
code:

Front Only - Hardware Kit: $100
Front Only – w/ plain rotors: $175 (+$35 shipping surcharge to Canada)
Front Only – w/ Drilled/Slotted/Zinc Rotors: $250 (+$35 to Canada)
Full Car - Hardware Kit: $275
Full Car – w/ Plain Rotors: $490 (+$70 to Canada)
Full Car – w/ Drilled/Slotted/Zinc Rotors: $565 (+$70 to Canada)



I have all the hardware for 10+ full car brake kits in stock and ready to ship, but the rotors (if needed) will be purchased at the time of payment.

More information about the kit:



My goal in developing this kit was a clean sheet approach to find the best fitting rotor for the 88’s that will maximize braking force by increasing the diameter of the rotor while keeping the rest of the brake system stock to ensure proper brake bias and parking brake function. Some of the key benefits of this kit are:

• Use of stock calipers, brake hoses and parking brake cables keeps cost to a minimum.
• Stock brake bias and parking brake function retained.
• 25% increase in brake rotor diameter for improved visual impact behind 17+” wheels vs. 15% with the 12" C4 setup.
• 29% increase in brake system mechanical advantage due to caliper being further from wheel center vs. 18% with the 12" C4 setup.
• 20% increase in rotor/pad surface area to reduce potential for brake fade vs. 9% with the 12" C4 setup.
• Available in Drilled/Slotted w/Zinc coating to minimize additional weight and improve appearance.
• No interference issues between the rotor/caliper and the front suspension a-arms when used with stock ball joints. NOTE: When installed with Rodneys 1" lowering ball joints and lowering springs, there have been reports of slight rubbing. If installing this combination of parts, it would be best to clearance the lower a-arm nose slightly to avoid any clearance issues.
• Lowest price of any 13” brake kit on the market today.

The downsides of this kit are:
• Weight – this kit will add between 5.7 and 6.4lbs per wheel over the stock 88 rotor.
• Wheel requirement – this kit requires 17+ wheels
• Cost – this kit is slightly more expensive than the C4 12” rotor upgrade that has been the brake upgrade standard on the 88’s for many years.

That's a nice deal, do you have a price on a complete full car kit with drilled and slotted zinc rotors to Ontario Canada postal code N0H 2L0. Looking into a set of 17inch rims and if I get them this kit would be a nice addition to my car. Thanks Dan

Is there a difference between front and rear? All parts look the same to mean in the picture, but I'm not a professional.

Only difference is the parking brake hardware is not included in the front only kits (or if you buy 2 front only kits).

Here is a pic with 16's. Since it takes several mods to fit the kit under 16's, so I only sell them for 17"+ wheels, but I shoehorned them under 16's on both of my personal cars.



Pics of just a few of my Customers Installs:
