Default New Brakes!! Brembo 14's!!

Once I got the right parts installation was an ease. Total time for installation: 2.5 hours. Total wait time, for parts,corrections,running around town,almost 1 month. But in the end they are worth the pain and suffering. Almost gave up on entire process. Thanks djparis!!

The brakes are 14's-4-POT setup. Haven't decided on what to do with the rear setup? Any suggestions? Currently the only Brembo's for the Rear are those that come off the Track model. Waiting to track my ride using these stoppers.

why dont you get the same kit you have on the front for the rear? I dont see why you wouldnt, other than the fact that they are really expensive for all 4.

You may want to check your rotor direction. It looks like they may be installed backwards. Heres some comparisons to other installed Brembo drilled kits:







Brembo rotors are directional like ours and can for the most part be installed with the same regard to internal vane direction as listed here:

Check the way the cooling fins face to see if they are on backwards.

Ok, I asked about my brembo rotor direction in another thread b/c I have mine on the same way (my rotors are Brembo cross-drilled replacement rotors for the OEM Brembos) and you told me that they are NOT directional, due to Brembo's "Pillar Vane" design.
