Thumbs up My Bday present finally arrived :)

Look what I got!!!!!!!!
I've been wanting these for a long time. Although I didn't opt for the entire 4 wheel kit. I was able to scrounge up enough for the 14" X drilled BBK from StopTech in Red. I used my wallet as a reference in size.

Sorry for the crappy Pictures all i had was my cell phone with me!

I like Bubble's price 2k hahahah ROFL

I paid 3300 installed. That includes 14" Front kit, stainless steel lines, pads, Motul brake fluid and the X drilled Rotors.

I'd like to know where you could get that kit for 2k bubble. Anyhow last night i was driving home and man what a huge difference. Pedal feel is perfect. Man its very accurate. I don't need to lay into the brakes either. No squeals at all. They are so beautiful so heres some pictures.

Your right 13" is probably the best and the most you need. However I want some show as well as go and couldn't help but go for the 14".

what I don't get, is do people buy BBK's for the sheer bling factor?

cause the only time you need a BBK really is if you're tracking the car on a road course. In which case you'd probably want slotted rotors, not drilled because of the risk of cracking the rotors.

So I'm thinking is a BBK with drilled rotors kinda an oxymoron?

bling bling bling

they do look nice though

ha ha ha, Sorry can't help it thats kinda funny. I don't know this X drilled cracking thing has been discussed so many times. I don't know if they crack or not. My sport bike has X drilled and they dont crack. But who knows.

My car will see light track and aggressive street driving, those that know me have been telling me forever to get brakes cuz i need them. I do agree some what with what your saying. Some people, my self included do get them for sheer looks.
