Thank you guys all.Its a direct bolt on for the calipers but i wasn't sure for the ISF rotors and i also didn't want to use ISF hubs and change my wheel offsets plus i wanted slotted rotors instead of drilled ones.Anyway the guy who made the job with the rotors did it perfect and i have no issue at all.

do you have to make custom brackets for the calipers/rotors? looks really good!

With the right brake rotor offset, size and width you dont need brackets.
The offset is changed by either using the IS-F hubs or as done here with custom rotors.

OP, would you be willing to share to rotor specs? are the the same height/width as OE iS-F rotors? I would think the rotor hat/center would be what made up the difference so you wouldnt need the hubs.

Johnchi the specs of the rotors are the same.Unfortunately i couldn't go with bigger ones with those calipers.Its a direct bolt on for the calipers but i wasn't sure for the ISF rotors.As i saw the guy who measure the rotors offsets in order to be in the center of the calipers the front needed a little beet out and the rears a lot more.Hopefully everything turned out ok
