Default Good news, Bad News (GS Powerslot Rotors)

Alright... good news and bad news A friend of mine just purchased a GS430 from an auction out in NJ. The car came with some nice big rims in which he cracked one within a week of driving out here in NYC. He found someone who traded him factory rims + $ for his rims. When trying to put on the factory rims, he realized there was BBK on the car. So he went through the process of getting them taken off and had oem rotors and calipers installed. Now the kit is with me.... THATS THE GOOD NEWS Heres the bad news... i have no specs on what they are. All i know is that they are Powerslot rotors with some HUGE calipers and for some odd reason.... BALLJOINTS as well. NTSHBBY had the privilege of seeing them a couple of nights ago and was impressed by the size of the calipers. Can anyone give me more info on these and as to how much they are worth? Im pretty sure i will not be able to use them, so therefore i might have them up for sale soon. Are all BBk rotors 13.25"?

If they dont have anything written on them they might by TT brakes with powerslot rotors. Are you sure there powerslot rotors or are they just slotted. If you have a pic it will be realy easy to figure out what they are.

There is no Powerslot BBK, if that is what you are asking. I suspect like the others that it is probably the TT calipers mated with the Powerslot rotors. A pic of the calipers will help confirm any suspicions.

Yep, post a pic of the calipers and we will tell you where they came from. Now, you will have to worry about your rims fitting over those calipers if in fact they are TT brakes...
