Default Titanium ZMI Big Brakes..

Hmm anyone have more info on ZMI? I am not too familiar with their products but from what I heard they are no longer in business? All I know is they make a kit for the toyota supra.. Cost is around 4 grand. The rotors plus hats only weigh 5.4 pounds !

I saw a set of them on an NSX at NOPI last year, very cool looking. I personally think it's overkill for a GS.. this is for a full-on track car.

Those brakes on the NSX look killer. I dont think they would look right on a GS though. That design does look strange though.

Calipers look cool. Rotors don't look as functional for daily use. If people say drilling weakens the rotor, what does having this pattern do? Even if the rotor was made in that shape, I am not sure I'd trust it on a daily car.

well i guess on the track all you need is performance just like those ceremic rotors on the porsche gt and the slr, they look dull but they work
