1.) Do they have a website?

2.) The braking ability of a big brake kit is no more than a stock system that can lock up the wheels (or get into full ABS). The only real advantages that you will see with a Big brake kit are these... 1.) They will look a hell of a lot better than stock brakes (and I LOVE how big brakes look ). 2.) Better overall feel and modulation (assuming that they work well with the stock master cylinder). 3.) Better and more consistant stopping distances when repeatadly stopping HARD (like you would at say, a Track day where you are on the track going crazy for 20 - 30 minutes at a time)... Other than those things, I can't really see why anyone would want to pay the costs for big brakes... Believe me, I want them like crazy!!! But there is no way I can justify them after switching my lines and pads... Now I can stop so hard it'll lift my passenger out of her seat if she isn't expecting it
