Default Got a few parts in for my SC400 GTE

Alright so I decided to really go crazy once again with my sc. So got a few parts for it. Hope to have them on in the next few weeks.





Soon to do some powder coating.

Man, those brakes are KILLER! I'd have to sell my car to get some brakes like that! What was your old brake set up?

Much cheaper. But I will say I know rotora is a good name. I can not yet vouch for these brakes. I am going out on a limb with these and trying them out. I paid right under 4000$ for these. But yeah the recaros are very nice.

I hope they do workout for you and don't forget to post your feedback. Have you checked on the pad selection for these. I wanted to upgrade my supra brakes so I can road race but I was told they should be more than sufficient with some carbotech xp10 pads. Are you planning to do some kind of racing or are they mostly for show?
