I was thinking NSX discs with GTO calipers.

If enough people were keen, I'd be happy to draw a bracket for Commo callipers to NSX discs for Starion.
That's where I started, but then I looked at the DBA catalogue and got carried away. :)

I'm happy to design any caliper/disc combo that people need (provided it actually fits together).

Phil - can you give us a ballpark figure on what the alcons + rotors will set the average joe back (ignoring the backing plate) ?

I think the Alcons rrp around $2k, I got the DBA 5000 rotors, hats, fasteners for around $1100 trade.

I got stitched up for the brackets/machining/labour. Total cost of suspension + brake fitting (I supplied discs/calipers) blew out to over $XX,XXX :(

Pads were $400ish, stainless lines had to be custom made, I think that was around $600-700 for all four. I went for full on fluid as well.

In the end, holy crap, are they awesome! WAY too much braking for the 18" road tyres I was running.

Hopefully the 19" Bridgestones (225/35 front) I'm putting on will fair better, but I can't wait to get it on the track with 18" semi-slicks. :)
