I've looked at your parts for a long time with envy! The 20v water line adapters you made are awesome!
And before someone else says it... AJPS out of Australia makes a simular kit using a 10.2 inch rotor from an integra. This kit uses a 10.8 inch Mini Cooper rotor. And yes... for most people this is more brake than you'll ever need. Especially those of you who are using a 4.77 R&P who will never see over 100 mph. With my new setup I'm hoping to get top speeds of 150+ and I would like to be able to stop.
I still consider this to be in R&D as I am still playing with master cylinder and brake booster combinations but as soon as I have a complete brake setup that I am happy with I'll post up what I think is an awesome complete brake upgrade.
So far I'm using this brake setup up front (went from a 9" to a 10.8" rotor) and MK1 supra rear brakes (went from a 9" to a 10" rotor) with an S13 Master Cylinder. I haven't been able to do any testing with this setup as I just installed the larger rotors and my High Comp developed rod knock but the new motor project is underway and I'll get my own testing started ASAP.
This front setup is currently on a friends daily driven BT20v coupe and he loves it. There are 2 1UZ corollas in TX that will also be giving me feedback on how the brakes work for them. Oh... and I donated a set to Will Parsons who drives the green NST corolla who will hopefully give me some insight as to how they perform for him.
Any questions feel free to ask

I should have the material for my first production run this week and as soon as I can get them all machined they will be up for sale. I'm hoping to get them all finished within the next 3 weeks. I do this in my spare time after work.
And as far as price goes... it really depends on what exactly you want included. Brackets and rotors can go for as little as $250 for the cheap rotors. I chose to use Brembo blanks which were an extra $50
