Default NEW Products/Colors from ROTORA... GB thru Carson Toyota/Lexus Parts!

Okay guys, after spending 2 days at Sema with Steve Ganz, it's now back to business. After having a very elegant business dinner with a Rotora Executive (VP of sales & marketing) , Carson Toyota/Lexus Parts will now be offering a better selection of colors and brakes for us Lexus Owners. Starting in 2005, Rotora will now be offering several new colors (without additional charge) to their lineup which include: Black, Silver and Metallic Blue. I was pushing for the Metallic Gold color but that will only be a special order at this time. Sorry guys, I tried...

Also for the 2005 year, Rotora will now be introducing their new 8 piston caliper with a 16" (405mm) rotor. that by far is the largest in the industry. I believe the record was a 8 piston (402mm) rotor. Rotora will now have a whole new lineup of truck and SUV big-brakes. The SUV brakes will also include the Lexus GX, LX, RX models. As some of you may know, Rotora comes from a Drift/Racing background, so all of their engineering is passed down to the street applications. What does that mean for us? Bigger, better and lighter calipers, higher grade metals, new technology with massive research and testing, and finally a desire to continue to grow...

Starting FRIDAY of this week, Steve Ganz will need to make room for the new applications therefore he will be holding a sweet GB for the 4 piston (330mm 13") BBK, and the 6/4 (355mm 14.2") BBK. They will be red in color however if you want to grab the new Metallic Blue color, ROTORA has a few in stock which Steve can get. Please keep your eyes opened in the vendor section for the ROTORA BBK group buy. You will need to act fast because Steve only has a few sets left in stock... Consider this a early Xmas gift for your car...

Enuff talk, here are the pics from Sema. The pic quality isn't the greatest due to the glass and reflection.

8 Piston / 16" Rotor for the H2 Hummer..


6 Piston (New Metallic Blue Color)


New Silver Color with red logo. I've asked to change the logo to black ... haha

Not sure I understand what you are asking? Do you mean parts?

The kit includes Calipers, Rotors, Bracket, Ceramic brake pads and SS brake lines...

Or else Ken probably would have gotten the bigger setup.

LXO, either that paragraph wasnt there last night, or I just wasnt paying attention becasue I didnt see anything about the group by in the original post the first time I read it.....thus my "whats with the GB" post.

Hmmmm, what to do what to do.......I like those metallic blue rotors, might look good on a silver car...or the silver rotors for that matter.
