Default Thinking about BBK upgrades !

I thinking about getting some BBK.....deciding on Rotoras or Stoptech....I wanted to get teh 355 from Todd but he is out of them and only have the 332 left.... I was thinking if I should go for the 332 or just wait for the 355mm ?.......

Are you talking about getting it from TM for the blow out pricing or normal pricing? I know the 355s went quick for the sale and I doubt if there are more coming. If you are waiting for the sale price to get the 355s, then you may be in for a loooooooooooooooooooooooong wait.

If it is the cost that is the concern, then go for the 332 kit now before these kits are gone at the sale price. If it is just waiting for restock at normal pricing, then I'd wait for the 355.

Let Todd know that you're interested in the 355 BBK. I am. With enough of us wanting that kit we might be able to get a good deal.

332 vs 355 is an in inch difference - I'd definitely wait and get the 355s if you can get them.

You don't want to know. I wish I had this deal too but sometimes, it is all about timing.

Here are the gory details:

personally i would get the stoptech, ad only the 355. 14" is quite a bit bigger and it's worth it

The only price I could find for the GS was for the 332mm. Am I missing something?

Not yet. I was looking through my PMs and guess I deleted the one with your address in it. PM it to me again and I will get it out to you today or Monday.

Alexusoftime, my advice is to wait. If you really want the 355mm rotors then dont settle on 332. I have made that mistake before and regretted it and ended up spending more money to get what I really wanted. Granted the brakes are a great deal but will you be happy with the 332? It sounds like you wont so wait the extra time and spend the extra $ and get the 355. Once installed you definately wont regret it

Maybe we can post up pics of how the 355mm bbk compares to the 332mm bbk behind 20s, or 19s, whichever size wheel that alexusoftime has. That way he can see the huge difference between the two and make his decision.
