Uh-Oh...New Mod Installed!!!
Rotora 4 Piston Big Brake Kit... Red Calipers with Silver Rotora letters. 13" crossed drilled/slotted rotors. Ceramic brake pads. Special thanks goes too Steve @ Carson Toyota for his help and knowledge and Ed Lujan @ Keyes Lexus for installing them on super short notice. I owe you man....
Impression: After doing the pad/rotor break in, all I can say is that this setup is awesome. The brake pedal is firm and braking is simply amazing. Another bonus is that I DID NOT have to use a 5mm front spacer for my 19" Lowenhart wheels. I have about 3mm clearance left. Brake dust was only a factor when doing my (7) 60mph-5mph break in runs. Brake dust now is hardly present. All I can honestly tell you is that for the price, this setup rocks!!! BTW: I was very close to buying the 14" StopTech setup but was uncomfortable about putting a spacer on the front wheels and the price was a little steep. Anyway, here are some pics...
Cost: $1550 + Tax (Group Buy Price when Steve was offering it)
Note: I will be in Vegas Sept 2-5 so if anyone has questions, drop me a PM and I will answer it when I return... Thanks

Pimp huh? Your car looks just has good bro. BTW: I don't have a high disk up front. If anything, it's worse because the way the BR5's are built, the spokes curve in causing less room for Big Brakes. Steve Ganz came out and looked at my wheels and gave me the thumbs up that it would fit. Barely, but it did. Rotora has a template on their website....

I couldn't find the template on their website but I think Steve has the template in his office. From what I remember reading when he did the group buy, this setup would fit the stock 17" wheels with a 5mm spacer. So having 19's or 20's should help a lot. Give him a call about the specs and pricing.
Congrats. It looks great. I am surprised the StopTechs did not fit since they are supposed to fit the stock wheels too. Did you look at the template for the 332s?
