Looking for brand new High Performance Brake system.?

I am looking for brand new brake parts that are as follows: drilled and slotted rotors hopefully 12 - 13 in diameter and heavy duty four piston calipers with a combination of metallic and carbon fiber brakes for a 2003 Honda CRV with four wheel drive and four wheel disc. Does any one know where you can find these parts?

Answer:

My first question is why? A good brake set will set you back a few grand. You may also need new rims if your brakes are too big(13 inch brakes are huge BTW). You also drive a small SUV so those brakes would likely be overkill. Anyways the best name in that stuff is Brembo. You may want to check on a dedicated CRV forum.
Unless you are pushing 1000-2000 HP out of this CRV then it will be a waste of money. The carbon brakes will not even grab until they get up to a good temperature and believe me street driving DOES NOT get your brakes this hot. This setup also runs about $6,000 just for the front so you really need to ask yourself is it worth it?
Don't bother. Drilled brakes suck for one (more prone to cracking and less stopping power). Reason numero dos, It's a CRV for crying out loud! This isn't a Lamborghini, the car will never see 125mph and then need to stop.
