Those 15" Rotoras are freaking hot. I wanted to go with the 15" but I didn't know if they would fit so I went with the 14" kit instead.

Someone mentioned some people get these just for show. Unforunately, I am one of them. I am in the market for a BBK now, so for show,...anyone that is in the same boat as me, would the 4 piston (front) front make a big difference from a 6 as far as looks and judges? Any opinions in the best looking one in a judges eyes? And yes, it is a very expensive piece of eye candy. That 12 piston is noice Ron!!

If it's just for looks, then you might want to just save money and go with a lesser piston setup. My StopTechs are 4-piston front, 2-piston rear. The pic of my brakes is a few pages back.
