If your mechanically inclined you can go the the pick-n-pull junk yard type operations and get Camaro calipers for about $25. Then get some drilled / slotted rotors and pads off of eBay for about $200.

What is your definition of a kit?

If you're referring to pad axle sets there is no reason you shouldn't be able to have the rotors resurfaced and replace front/rear pads including new hardware for that price.

If you're talking about replacing everything (rotor/caliper/pads) you'll be hard pressed to meet that $200 budget. To be honest, I wouldn't even think about replacing everything on all four corners for $200. In order to stay within that budget is to buy cheap parts. They will wear rapidly and you'll be back at it putting new brakes on in no time.

Double your budget - then go shopping for new brakes. Why cheap out on one of the most important systems on the car?

I bet you're talking about "Brakemotive" on ebay. I wasn't a fan of them.

I have switched my stuff over to Centric Rotors with a nice coating and Bendix pads.

Truthfully it's not that pricey.
