Holy mother of masterbatory aide! Those are insane... Does it use two brake pads or four? What size wheels are required?

lol I'd say those are overkill for most situations, probably even the nurburgring

Get some GREX or Impul, if you really want exclusivity.

Stay JDM - Endless or PMU.

Endless would look sick with those wheels.

I would love to offer up a suggestion but I am really confused. Doesn't "baller status" mean money is no object?

It's all silly. In reality a 6 piston front 4 piston rear Rotora BBK would do you just fine for $4000 or so. To pay for something because it's JDM is crazy. Put things in persepcetive. You could use tat money to do alot of other things. If your not going top bring your car to the track there is no point. To buy something to get a certain reaction from people is just stupid.

In addition what are the specs of your wheels? Aren't you running 18s? The really big brake kits which of course are the more expensive usually use huge rotors which can/cannot be a problem depending on the specs of your rims.

^^^Generally speaking yes.

Some wheels hold exception. One example are the Advan RG-IIs that are run on the Jun AWD Time Attack Z33. That car is running an Endless Racing 6 front Racing 4 rear setup with a 380mm rotor in front! As for whether or not its running a spacer I could not tell you.

Go with Endless or Pmu forged. The Endless would look good as a slight contrast to the mag blue wheels.

I run the Endless racing 6/4 setup on stock 18's for winter and stock 19's for summer without spacers and they clear fine, but the rotors might be of a slightly smaller diameter than the normal kit, I believe the Endless kit I bought from perf. nissan was a "1 off".

Why purchase something based purely on aesthetics? You can improve braking and look good at the same time. IMO, function speaks louder than form.

the pmus would look pretty tacky behind your wheels, imo. also i'm not a huge fan of pmu, because they have a pretty limited pad selection (this might be different now).

i would go for the endless racing 6/4 with custom caliper/hat in a dark gray color.

or if you have the $$$ - the midori alcons ... drool

Sometimes JDM stuff makes people happy on a personal note, and has nothing to do with reactions from other people. But I see your point.
