^LoL You want a PAIR or calipers.. upgraded from stock along the lines of Brembo and you think $500 is a lot to pay? Good lord.. people need to realize you have to pay for quality.. and you should NOT cheap out on brake parts.

Also, what is done to the car that would make the stock clappers no good? Most people who upgrade the calipers are doing so for looks..ala spoon..so are you function or form?

Steel braided flex lines will help. Might save you some money from having to buy better calipers for better brake performance. Maybe try that first. Use high quality pads and rotors and you should be able to stop on a dime, no problemo.
