Thumbs up Can you say, Big Brakes?(PICS)

Finally snapped some pics of my Rotora 6 Piston Big Brake Upgrade, on 14" Slotted Cross Drilled Rotors. Thanks to Paul(Red6) for the hookup .

Your car looks great! Keep it up.

Those brakes are huge! Hows the difference in pedal feel and braking?

Sweet. Car looks low in the first pic. Gives me second thoughts of lowering mine at all. That looks like 2 inches of clearance.

I've got the Tein S-Tech drop. .7" up front and .6" in the rear. I've got about a 2 finger gap between the fender and tires. It's a nice subtle drop, with hardly any scraping if any .

Your car is the only reason im considering powder coated wheels. i just think the Db begs for chrome. i wish i could see your car in person. Wheels = tough decision

Thanks Rod. I considered getting a new wing, something low and sleek liike the Veilside 2 I think, but I'm holding off for now.

BTW guys, I have 3 new Overlays I'll be posting up. Eyelids are finally done, and I've alliviated the light shining through the vinyl problem I also have a new emblem Overlay and front bumper Overlay as well. Oh, forgot to add the B-Pillar one too.
