Few questions: How the hell are fitting those wheels? Why do you need huge rear brakes? What front brakes are you going with? What are you using the car for? Why does your profile say you have a 07?

With wheels that big I imagine you could fit any rear brakes on the market.

Unless you have massively upgraded your front brakes, I wouldn't do anything to the rears.

Yeah unless you have at least 6 pots up front, I wouldn't upgrade the rear. I'm assuming you're running a wide body kit to fit those wheels. Brembos are very expensive once going above 4pot. I would recomend rotora, stop tech, alcon, and cobb for big brake kits. A set of hawk hp+ pads would go well with any of those as well. Good luck with the build!

I just mentioned those off the top of my head. You can go on for days with bbk kits. There are so many good companys now adays. Just really depends on you're spending budget and needs.

I'm not running a bbk kit yet, but a few of my friends have some of the companys I mentioned. Their all pretty much the same, pads are what makes the biggiest difference IMO. I soon plan to have a big brake upgrade in the front. Just spent to much on suspension at the moment

This is really off topic, but I want to see pictures of your car. a 10.5" wheel is aggressive on a widebody kit.

I need to see this.
