Just told the wife to expect me to go to BMP Sunday the 9th!!!!

Now, do I leave on the heavy 18's or switch to the lighter 17's for my runs?

Car feels faster with the 17's but will lose traction... 18's feel slower but I probably will spin much less.



Not to mention overall gearing is better with the 17's

Definately still have the use of the e-brakes. I think that the more and more people hear and see the Rotora set up they will start to belive in the fact that they are great brakes for affordable prices compared to the big boys, and really can someone tell me that these don't look just as good . great looking set up. congrats.

thanks sean the rears are the same size as the fronts 14 in 2 piece rotor and the statement adrian made about rotora is so true .. these things work and work extremely well .. no fuss no nothing . as he said they can compete with the big boys for a more affordable price
