according to rotoras documents

http://www.brakewarehouse.com/images...talog_2008.pdf
http://www.brakewarehouse.com/images...ance_chart.pdf

Needs 9" of clearance from the center of the brake disc. That means the wheel needs a minimum of 18" of clearance for EXACT fit. 18.5" would probably be the lowest you would want to go.

Will a 19" wheel be capable of that?

This kit is all bling and won't do anything to help stopping and in fact will hurt stopping power due to additional rotational mass. Also it will hurt the handling of the car due to the additional unsprung weight of the rotors and calipers and the fact that you will have to have larger, heavier wheels. If you want to stop faster read this

Baller. I don't think everyone on here is a race car driver who are focused on nothing but function and not style as well.

It'll probably be the same weight as an OEM set up or or just a tad more but not that far off... the 2 piece rotors(forged hats) provide great weight savings especially for a such a large rotor. My Endless set up(regardless of brand.. forged calipers and forged hats) weighed a hell of a lot less than my Akebono's(they have aluminum calipers). It's obviously for a show car or something along those lines... hell I have true track brakes and have yet to use them so its hard to fault someone if they're trying to achieve a "look".

Definitely not a race car driver. I built this car from the ground up. 500+ hp daily driver but just wanted to balance it out So I can definitely agree with Graffkid as well as Flo-rida

Problem with such a large setup is that you pushed the weight to the outside, where it hurts you more. 20lb 20" wheels are worse than 20lb 17" wheels.


What wheels will you be running?

Wow, those rotors make my akebono kit look tiny. 30LB is still pretty light for 405mm, considering they weight the same as my front rotors.

I can't wait until spring!
