just so you know, you can't determine the direction of a rotor just from the holes on the it, those are not very meaningful. it's about the vein design inside the rotors to determine the air flow and thus the direction

fwiw, if you look at ap racing, brembo, stoptech, you will see on their setup the direction of the "holes" go different from setup to setup (when installed correctly).

now Henry, why would you pick these setup over the Brembo or other brand, honestly, I rather have BBK that says Brembo on it than actually blank like the 5 axis



and surprisingly, the paint is not flat, it's actually pearl titanium paint.. interesting

yeah it's not flat black, there is a video in the is-f forum about sema cars and troy from 5axis talked about this car including the color

about the brakes, well i didn't say i want these, i am just interested to see what they are. although i already have a good guess on what they are, they are still name brand but 5axis covered up the brand.

i have owned ap racing, stoptech, and brembo, i always want to own different things to try them out. this time around i am thinking endless, but that'd dig into my wallet deep

it's a satin paint. there's very little shine.

i don't know what the diff is between satin and matte, but i like satin better.

Pics on the first page don't show any fog lights, but the third page there's a HID fog light kit? Anyone know if that is an aftermarket HID fog light or JDM retrofit of some sort?

^^ in case you haven't noticed, pretty much everything should be one of a kind custom kit

and i doubt it's HID, looks more like LED to me

I think the front is ugly but I like the rest. The wide body rear haunches, that's really nice.

That's a StopTech BBK on this car. There are a few key words in the specs that give it away.

That's the thing I've always admired about Troy and the guys at FiveAxis. Rather than bolt a bunch of stuff they bought onto a car, these guys CREATE and INNOVATE. Whether you like the design or not, these guys continue to raise the bar in design creativity. I love this car, as I do most of the stuff that comes out of that shop.

For those questioning the color scheme, The colors chosen are actually the color scheme of FIVEaxis, If you ever look at their pamphlets or decals, they use a dark grey and orange scheme.
