Bit of a Delima

Ok so as I work on my Skyline insuring an all the small details are just right I come to the rims and tires. I think Oh I want brakes ok cool so I go I look at BadCompanys sticky and see some just sick looking breaks. Ok cool XS Tuning nice wonderful. so I search the net for XS Tuning TADA ! I proceed to Order a set and In my own tiny car nerdyness I get all excited and think oh boy these are gonna look so sick !! and Error page did not load or something so I try a few more times same error. No problem their were 2 outher sites that had theses rims and tired and the (happy sigh) brakes cool 1st site We are sorry but we are moving our computer and you are SOL right now thanks and try again later. Ok again NP ! one last place to try. so COOL I order some XS Tuning wheels day Later umm we are sorry these are on Back order and well thanks we cancled your order try again later. NP go back to the 1st site that was down all that time its up JOY ! ok ummmmm.... all out of stock no arrival eta umm ok .. so I look at the clock its early on the west coast so I go AAH Ill call XS TUning and say hey I want 2 sets of your fine quality wheels and thoes greak breaks. (The Number you have dialed is disconnected BLAH !!) try the fax number same thing. So now that the world is against me and does not want my Skyline to have breaks (this poor car has had a hard life and it has not even been played with) I need some Ideas I want some breaks Ok DUH ! go buy a modle so muhaww I buy a modle and look on the box breaks oh buy yes yah ! get home ..... well I have to look at the good side now i have a modle to build the breaks are way tiny I mean i know they are not suposta be HUGE but they are way to small even tho its a 1/24 kit. so now thats over any one have any Ideas or should I just give up on the breaks thing and move on to bigger and better Ideas ?

What model did you get? I have bought a ford mustang from "revell" and they come with disc brakes that fit XMODS with some minor modification.

BC...
Yes I did try I have 2 LHS and 1 is hard core trains they asked why I wanted to add the breaks I said for looks and a minor argument insued over details in small hobbys this from a man that was painting a tiny part on a train to look rusted.. details details. the outher place said they could try to get me something but they have never had any one ask for it.

Viper...
It was a revel Dodge Viper was the only kit they had that did not have solid rims. I guess Ill try maby walmart see if i can find a mustang this weekend.
