Rotora 8/4 BBK installed!
 
So I picked up a Rotora BBK from a member that was selling it here and on another forum I'm a part of. This kit was specially made for a SEMA showcar and I was able to get it from a great deal! I went to Performance Motorsports on Friday to get the kit installed. The kit comes with cross-drilled and slotted rotors and SS brake lines from Rotora. The front brake is an 8 pot caliper with 4 brake mini pads for each brake. The rear is a 4 pot brake (like the OEM Akebono front). While installing, we ran into a few problems, the front brake is so large that it didn't clear the balancing wheel weights inside the front 2 rims and we had to take them off, will need to be replaced with thinner, low-profile weights when they get rebalanced. Also 3 of my extended spacer studs were cross-threaded and the passanger wheel is only being held tightly by 2 lug nuts :mad:


Well here are the pics:

That looks sick! The fronts barely clear the wheels.

You could always buy some 20's. But those puppies look beautiful.

What size are the rotors?

No wonder it's close. I'm surprised it fits with 19's.

hehe I actually love the tight fit look, my biggest issue will be with the spare.
