Tony... About how much is a full set front and back, sized appropriate to fill a 20" wheel? also must be slotted or drilled rotors. And is there an option like that for the rear wheels too???

Yes,...they make big brake kits for the front and rear as well. Slotted and cross drilled. BIG $$$$$$$$! lol I believe Baer and Wilwood both offer them. (I'm talking about the Big Brake KITS. I do believe there are other companies that sell the cross drilled and slotted rotors, but not sure of quality. Baer and Wilwood are top notch. Obviously the slotted/drilled rotors would be a lot more inexpensive just by themselves instead of the whole kit.)
No,.....I'm happy with my Roush phase 1.
(For now. lol )

Yes sir, both Baer and Wilwood make Brake kits for the front and rear for our cars. Not a cheap upgrade. Baer Fronts Baer Rears About $4400 for a new set for this set. They have another which would be 7k approx. Those are some sexy roters. You do get to pick your caliper color! More than red or black too.

Yup, I had to triple powerwash her and go through a touchless carwash after that.

He doesn't ever launch the car hard enough for it to squat in the rear. That would through rubber chunks on his rear fenders :P

Mikey... LOOKS GREAT!!! 305 nitto drags? awesome. Hey did you figure out your TPMS situation?

Also, you're on Eibach's right? Looks like your offsets and wheelsizes are close to mine, so it sticks out a tad from your fenders? Are those 19s or 20s on the Velgens? Make sure there is no rubbing. You'll hear that a LOT from folks here and won't believe you're not rubbing... lol. Try a few hard acceleration runs. Make sure that backend doesn't squat down too much.

Hi Phil,

yes - those look great! Have admired them on other posts. Great looking car overall!

what brand/size tires are you running on those Vossen CV1's? (if I recall - you have 20x9 on front and 20x10.5 out back).

Thinking of taking the plunge for my 2014 Brembo GT. Did you need to do anything special to clear the Brembo's?

Think they would look good on a DIB color?

Phil can answer but I think he has 275 out back. The vossens would look good on any color.

I honestly don't like it at all.

The wheels are a completely different tone of grey. would be better suited in a different shade.

I know I'll probably be the only negative comment, but I look at aesthetics like that.
