haha, i kid i kid. Looks great, and i guarantee you can out-drive me. Bigger brakes have nothing on the uber-l33t driver mod.

I dont have any side by side pics handy, Ill see what i can do. These are 12.24", stock are 11.65".

The key things about these are that they are larger, dimpled, and curved vane. The rotors are made by PFC, who makes some of the best rotors in the world. These are exactly the same rotors the Time Attack and Koni Challenge cars use.

I dont have a kit price yet, I dont think its finalized yet, as refinement are still in progress literally as we speak.

john at one point told me it was, based off the time attack, and something to do with the hub swap we did. i think they are still working on it. the rotor is easy, hat is more difficult.

sorry it's late.

bought car with smidge over 10k miles
it has 33k on it now
never changed the pads
leads me to assume they are still the originals...
