Dean makes some very good points (what else is new?). You didn't specify if your 900 SE is a V6 or a Turbo. If it is a Turbo, then you have 16" wheels already and the Viggen brakes will fit. My guess it that this could probably be done for $1,000 for Viggen Calipers and aftermarket pads & rotors, in the Viggen size (308 mm). I believe (and I may be wrong) that stock 900 SE rotors are 280 mm. I've heard a lot of positive feedback about EBC Greenstuff pads, so much that I bought a set a while ago for my 9000, but I haven't put them on yet, so I can't comment personally. I hear you on the $3,000 think for the fancy stuff... you could probably source an upgrade for around $2k, but not much less than that. Are you due for a pad & rotor change, or just a pad change?
