Way to put it all together with style and a sinister side, great work!

The 8/6 usually runs around the high 5s. As of these brakes, yeah not many G's are running these. They cater to most of the VIP/Lexus crowd. My shop is carrying these and it looks really sick in person.

Drool-worthy
Definitely looking forward to these. What diameter rotors are you going to run?
Are you going to have color-matched hats and calipers, and if so what color are you thinking?

Me too I'll hopefully have them ordered soon. I'm going to run 380mm and 356mm rotors. As for the calipers, I'm definately going to get them matched with the hats. I was thinking either teal or purple, something that will make my car pop out a little bit

Wow, sounds like those AP racing rotors for the Q56, those are monsters!
Now it begs the question what wheels will accommodate these bad boys?
Do you already have some sets in mind?

This is going to get good

Yeah the monstrosity lol. I'm going to go with either a 5 or 6 spoke wheel with an aggressive offset, something that will showcase the brakes. I'm leaning towards the advan gt right now but I'm still shopping around.


Bluebat- thanks for the overlay
