Rotora 355mm 4 Corner Big Brake Upgrade. (56k non-safe)
1st I found out its pronounced "Ra-tore-Ra" not "rotor-a" they hate when you say it the wrong way 
...I got these in a couple weeks ago after a 3 month wait and had them installed right away. I wanted to drive on them for a bit before haveing an honest opinion besides looks..Gotta thank again D2-autosport for his many hours of tire sizeing/offset help and jtanoyo1 for those long nights on aim (afternoons for him) with help on offsets. Definately Steve for provideing an awesome group buy price on these custom special order brakes and LMW for grinding me to the spec hub centric spacers, but most of all to Ken (lxogood) who went way out of his way to help me out for the 3 1/2 months total process to get these. He pulled the strings to have this custom set up made for me, we went a many hours to get the spec of everything just right. He called just about every week to keep me updated, was honest with his opinons and basically provided me with every idea and product to get this done. Ken i give you a Huge 
and thanx again...
I never thought i had a chance with my gettins so i was going to sell them and go with the new I-forge line but found that even at normal disk up front and with the custom front calipers from Rotora i actually didn't need that big of a spacer to get this done. The design on the gettins actually gives you a lot of room even with normal disk and super low. So ok, i narrowed it down to Red and Blk as my choices and went with Red cuz I just thought it looked better imo ( after seeing Red on spectrablue on so-cal's car i knew i was going to go with red.)
mods-
Rotora 4 pot Red Calipers Front and Rear( custom front caliper made)
355mm (14.2")2pc rotors Front and Rear
BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 tires in thier new sizes- I really wanted to go skinnier without going stretch and this was it plus haveing that 30 series matching front and rear was key for me. I like how it gives the front that matching rubber band look while making the front lip look bigger.
245/30/20 front
265/30/20 rear
Hub-centric spacers grinded to the spec by LMW and anodized blk to match the blk hub on the rotors.
Fendors rolled and absolutely no rubbing as is...

Outstanding car! The rake angle is absolutely perfect. Very subtle, "all of a piece" treatment from bumper to bumper. The spoiler on the trunk is very good -less of the boy racer look than the stock one. I like it better than my car.......
