It is so funny, when i got mine I noticed so many people staring at the wheels when i drive, I was like wow they really like my wheels then my girls was like you idiot they are staring at those massive brakes hehe
Anywho, welcome to the Rotora club, they are very nice brakes and you will surley enjoy them.

Yes, the exact same thought crossed my mind!
When I upgraded mine to the StopTechs last year, the weight difference between the calipers is about 50% less in weight compared to the stock calipers!

yeah i gave in to the pressure , i have always wanted a true bbk but had a hard time justifying the cost , the supra tt setup is really great but for better overall perf and lighter rotaional weight and unsprung weight stoptech,rotora ap racing endless and your brembos are the way to go not to mention they are so eye catching on the street as well as at meets

Yeah looks great Bro!!
I'm glad it all worked out, I knew it would
Seat them in and they should last a long time, mine are still going strong though I dont drive it as much, now you have to get used to the brake feel again

Good lawd, that is sweeeeet.
Great choice man. Those are BIG BIG brakes.
Enjoy.
Maybe some day...but no time soon. I know those puppies weren't cheap.
And since I am no hot rod demon, they will really be mostly for looks for me.
Wish I could get a test drive tho, feel all that stopping power. You on the East, Ed? Comin' to East Coast Meet?

thanks bro for the comps , yeah they are bigger in person , its funny how people at the light eyes pop when they look at the front brakes , in fact some ricers who usually want to try and test the v8 see the brakes and say hmmmm i wonder if hes got boost or something
as far as the meet , no none of us from south florida are going , just too far to drive and we got nopi atlanta to do in september , thats a 8hr drive in itself

Sucks we'll miss you. Maybe next year's East Coast Meet will be closer to you.
Anyway, enjoy the brakes. When I'm ready for my BIG BIG brakes, I'll hit you up for some info.

Looks awesome, Ed Waiting for the writeup / comparo myself too
Wish you could get yourself one of those hemorroid donuts, pop it on your new leatherseats covers and make the drive up to MD so I could see 'em myself Nopi isn't soon enough.
Hameed made a drive like that down from Canada for the Dragon one year, with his wife and two little kids in the back. You aren't going to let him show you up are you?
