Default HELP! Need pictures of Rotora BBK for LS430

I was wondering if anybody on these forums have any actual pictures of the Rotora BBK for the LS430. I need actual pictures to do some comparisons and every for sale thread has broken links to the pictures. If anybody would be so kind to help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm mostly concerned with the tophat design and the mounting brackets for the front.

Thanks,
Chris

I have my own Futura Design BBK still waiting to be installed. What specifically did you need on the Rotoras?

Top hats and caliper brackets go hand and hand. They are designed with eachother in mind in order to get the rotors to sit in a certain position. My current top hats and caliper brackets unfortunately push my whole wheel set up 1" 1/2 further out from my stock rotors and calipers. From my investigation this is an error of manufacturing. I've compared with stop tech already, just trying to get other brands to see how they are doing it.

Did you need just the front or both front/rear? I can take pics of them tomorrow.

Did you buy this setup used or get the wrong parts?

I'm just concerned with the fronts.

I bought them used in new condition. I currently have to run a 15mm spacer to clear the caliper due to the top hat design. These top hats are 1/2" thick but with a 10mm dip. Stop top hats are a 3/4" thick with no identation. The manufacturer said that it was a glitch in production due to a miscommunication with JP. I'm still waiting on a response for a fix to this. Kind of ridiculous for the price I paid but it's a little too late to pull back from it. I just need to find a solution to make the brakes work with my wheel set up.

Yeah, I picked these up from Sean. Trust me I love the brakes, they work awesome but the front poke is killing it. I've pulled my LXZ's off for now and I'm just running my spare wheels till I get this fixed. It was bothering me so much that the fronts looked wider than the rear.

No, the pic I posted I took a while back when they first arrived. Gotta head to the garage at the other house tomorrow morning. I'll take pics of the 6-pot rear and brackets then.

I don't need the rear just the front unless the front and rear brackets are the same. Luckily my JP rears fit perfect.
