Well I did not go with a big name brand and for the life of me I can not remember what the brand name was. I think I spent about 1500 on front and rear disc brakes with all of the lines, mater and booster. I had a lot of problems and ended up having to change out the master cylinder and the booster because they were defective right out of the box. It seemed like I spent weeks trying to get it bled and when I thought i had it bled the pedal did not feel right at all (very hard). If I was going to do it again I would spend a little more money and and buy little better quality kit like SSBC or something.
