Default finally my REAL 4 corner big brakes

i finally decided to bite the bullet and finish off my braking dept and add the rotora 4piston rears to match the 6piston up front

i must say as a susp and braking guy myself i am totally blown away by the perf of the complete setup. no matter how fast i go the car just stops and i mean stops immed.. no fuss no complaining .. touch the pedal and you are stopped


since many have pm'd me for pics heres some quick pics of the setp let me know what you think







for the 4piston rears the ssr gt3 19x10 +41 cleared with ease , praise god





up next is

I heard that if you get the Rotora kit for the rear, that you have to give up your emergency brake, for some reason it won't work anymore...is that what you had to do?

I Never lost my e-brake. As a matter of fact, I'm on my second set of front and rear calipers (different color) and never lost my e-brake on any of them.

Nice brakes ED...

Looks Good Ed, Now you need the POWER adder...



I have also been thinking about

P.S. Not going to be able to make it to Atlanta. I have my Aunt and 2 cousins coming into town that weekend to celebrate 3 different birthdays. They are coming from NY, RI, and CA and have not all been here at the same time in over 20 years.
