Looks amazing. But do you notice a significant difference in braking power? Other observations? $5090 on brakes.. hooooly smokes.

Agreed... Any thoughts on the system, driving-wise?

$5090 is just the MSRP...if you shop at Rotora dealers im sure ull find it for cheaper. I just brought the car home last night...so I havent really got on them yet. Ill keep you guys updated on how they perform...

If you bought the Rotora fronts, could you put your big OEM brakes in the back?

Looks great! The red matches very well with your car, it's not overpowering. Are you from illmatic?

As for Larrym96815, It looks like a CLS in the garage, and a S Class outside.
