Also, will you be "sharing" where you can find these sets for that cheap price?

yeah I was able to source the front/rear brembos for $1K ($700 fronts, $300 rears) Picked up a full set of turnable EVO rotors for $100, they can be turned quite a few times before they reach min thickness, they are already 2mm thicker than the STI rotors anyways so they should be turned if your going to run them with STI pads. Brake lines for the STI calipers plug right in front and rear and they usually come with them when you buy them used.
It should be noted though that these calipers have been getting cheaper lately and will continue to as more idiots ball up STI across the country and around the world. I posted a link a couple posts above to the NASIOC classifieds, search there to start, the Vendors classifieds have a few shops that import containers full of parts from japan every month.
As for the brackets, pretty damn cheap if you di it yourself. They are cut from standard 1.25"X.5" mild steel bar stock that any machine shop will have in 10 foot legnths, I got a couple of 7" pieces cut and had them notch it in the middle to clear the hub for a total of $35. I'll post up the diagram when Im all finished
