    they cost more.

    Namely because of the caliper construction.

    If you want a balance of quality and cost, try C5 calipers.

    They're PBR calipers.

    Wow you guys sure know your stuff. Thanks for the quick responce too. I see some options require the use of 18" or larger rims. That part makes me on edge. Rims are the hardest thing to settle on. I dont want to buy anything with the stamp "made in china" on them.
    Lol thats for another tred i guess.

    If you dont have or want to get 18's then that will cross the cts v upgrade of your list for sure... so that is just going to leave the f bodys and c5's to choose from... so my vote would be the c5's
