Default Rotora 355mm BBK Upgrade (Finally)...

Rotora 4 pot Red Calipers ( custom front caliper made)
355mm (14.2")2pc rotors
Stainless Steel brake lines

Welp I finally bit the bullet and purchased the Rotora BBK. I didn;t want to get the 13" rotors but with my wheels I couldn't fit the 6 pot 14".
So I went with a custom setup in which LXOGOOD helped me out tremendously. It wourked out perfect as he had an extra setup with 4 pot 14.2" 2 peice rotors! I was so happy everything worked out. I may do the rear in the future but for now just the front. Hope you like.

Nothing a little "space" can't fix

Ya I may do the rear and from the research I have done during this process shows that 90% of the people here and everywhere only do the fronts but thanks for looking

Congrats Lexis11 - looks really great with your iForged rims!

You said you needed a 'little space' - did you mean a wheel spacer? If so I'm surprised because your rims look open and large - are they lower offset for a bigger lip up front?

Anyway, besides the great looks, how does the brake performance seem?

Very classy & sporty at the same time Jeff.

I'd say that rear BBK follow up is gonna finish off the outside look of your car very well.

Same issue I'm dealing with myself.

Go for it !
