Thumbs up ** Rotora 6-Piston Front/4-Piston Rear installed......I'm in love!!

Finally was able to install the New Rotora Big Brake Kit on my 93.5 Turbo Supra, 6-Piston fronts and 4-Piston Rears..................unbelievable is the first word I said!!

Even though I had the Stock Supra 4-pistons which are very good brakes for most applications I had brake fad, which is understandable considering all the HP I'm pushing...........I wasn't confident after some Higher speed runs.

I broke them in over the weekend early in the morning ,10 stops from 70-45, seated them nicely.

Very smooth operation and pedal feel, seems well balanced on heavy braking, this was the answer I was looking for. Brakes are big in front and fit under the normal Hi-Pad wheels I originally had on the car.

(Moderators, can you leave this here for a few days,thanks!)

I can't see pics either Steve. I considered these but the fronts would not fit my wheel.

Do you have the final template yet? I measured with a preliminary one.

Wow, that brake kit looks like you had to jam it in there to make it fit.. looks nice though, fills that empty space up well..
