I recently got a 13.1" big brake kit and wanted to have a shop to do the install. I'm located in Anaheim, CA and wanted to know if you guys had any recommendations on brake shops that have experience installing these kits. I would appreciate any info. Thanks.

so...why'd you get 13.1" brakes? cuz they look good right? DIY and save money, its really, really easy to do brakes

Seriously... 2 bolts hold the caliper on, one banjo bolt holds the brake line to the caliper, rotor just slides off once the caliper's off. Installation is reverse of removal. Easy!

Are you backing this up with a bigger master cylinder and larger rear brakes?

If you really don't want to do it yourself, which you should since it IS really easy, any brake shop you can point a twill do it. It's not something hard that one shop is going to do better than another. If you must have a shop do it, start dialing numbers and finding the cheapest price.
What brake kit is it, out of curiosity??

Yeah, I was contemplating doing it myself, but for one, I don't trust myself, and two, I simply don't have the time. I'm either stuck at work or night school. I always take into account that it may take two hours longer than what other people estimate. I still may do it myself, thanks for the heads up guys.

where did you find a big brake kit?? is this for s13 or s14?

Brembo 13.1" Big Brake Kit for my WRX. They do have the brake kit for the s14 and I believe it should fit on an s13, but requires 5-lug.
