Can't wait to get mine on this week, been busy and haven't had a chance.................this is by far the best priced kit and with Ceramic pads included, I dont think it can be beat.
Stoptech offers a similar kit if i'm not mistaken......for more.

I haven't had a chance to drive the car much and am still trying to hit the 100 mile break-in periord Rotora suggests, I did get a few pictures of them behind my Ganador wheels, these have the stock offset and calipers cleared easily with no spacer!!

WOW Steve, that caliper looks really nice.. I wasn't "feelin" the blue before but now that they are on your car, they look pretty sweet. You got to let us know your honest opinions about this brake setup and how they compare to Stock/ SupraTT setup. I need a new mod, I'm bored....

I felt the same way, but I like the blue caliper against my Black SC!!
Drove to work today in major stop and go traffic, typical LA morning commute.
Brake pedal feels firmer, SS lines are a factor. I have to adjust to the new found stopping power. Before I would have to get on them at least half way before I felt the vehicle was slowing down, now it's only a 1/4 way down and it's grabbing, feels much better and have confidence back on quick stops. No brake pad noise, but I can hear the rotors on heavy stops, but that's once in a while and It doesn't bother me, well worth the trade off.
These fit under the factory rims which is a big plus to us that do not want to change or bought expensive rims with the factory offset, some may need a 5mm spacer.
As comparsion to the Supra TT caliper, I have to say it's close on everday street driving, 4-pot vs 4-pot, since these come with Ceramic pads I wonder how it would be on the track, would the Rotora's have less fade, i think they would. I know on my Supra after some heavy driving it does heat up with all the HP behind it and I'm not as confident, that's why I'm switiching to 6-pot front and 4-pot rear on the Supra. Over kill for most people I would think.
It's an investment and probably not for everyone, but the guys who are thinking forced induction or just don't like the factory set-up this is the way to go, we invest all this money in making our cars look good, go faster etc ,we tend to forget about spending the money on some safety features!
