Finally.. 385mm (15.2") Rotors are installed
Finally.. 385mm (15.2") Rotors are installed
Well here are some really poor quality pictures of the rotors installed. We ran into a few interesting problems during the install, the biggest of which was trying to match the thread pitch that the machine shop used for the threads on the bracket that connects to the knuckle. After that was figured out we had a heck of time keeping the caliper from rubbing on the rotor, but luckily all it took (after 6 times of raising the car, taking the wheels off, taking the caliper off, putting a shim in, putting the caliper on, putting the wheels on, lowering the car and test driving) was one 1/8" shim on the bottom mounting bolt of the caliper. I can honestly say these rotors are a lot more 'grabby' and that I definitely need some Axxis pads. More pictures to follow - my buddy just got signed on to shoot for a couple magazines and took some shots of my car yesterday which I should be getting today or tomorrow.
If I didn't do a "step-lipped" wheel, I could probably use a 16" rotor, mwhahahahaahah, haha, ha.. okay.



This would be the smallest valve stem made in the world; it has a screw on cap that sits completely flush to the surface and when you remove the cap you screw in an adapter which you then plug into an air line. Pretty crazy.


As far as this 'rotor upgrade' kit being for sale, once my guy gets back from SEMA and I tell him what was wrong with the bracket, he should be able to knock out a perfect bracket design and things will be good to go. I decided not to do a 15" setup in the rear because of some information I came across on brake balancing, I am however doing an oem size slotted/drilled rotor of the same pattern.

Jason, why don't you focus all of your energy designing a cool custom 2 off front bumper? One for you and one for me.
