Props to Josh and Jamie at Excelerate in Branford, CT for a quick and professional installation job this afternoon.

Rotora 1pc BBK with drilled+slotted rotors, and Rotora drilled+slotted rears with Hawk HPS brake pads. Stopping power is awesome, pedal feel is great, and the calipers clear my wheels (18x8 +48) with almost an inch to spare. From what Josh tells me, my OEM wheel had maybe a millimeter's clearance when he test-fitted it, so I will be running a set of 5mm Ichiba spacers this winter.

Talk is cheap, on to the pics. Yes, my car's dirty. I'll be washing it tomorrow. PS holy brakedust Batman.

 

nice pimp... i like how the red calipers are peeking thru the wheels... i wished they had a set of red, when i ordered my blue... i ride with my stockies in the winter with no spacers, no problems...

 

Those advans?
If so, which ones?

(I know I've asked a couple of people, so if I've already asked you, sorry. )

EDIT: Nvm, I viewed the full picture a got it

 

damn, i can't decide what i like more: the advans or the calipers

 

Nice calipers.

Did you scratch/scrub your rims already?

 

Those are Advan Kreuzer Xi's. I've had them since July of 2007 so yeah, unfortunately in that time I've accumulated a couple of curbages on them. It hurts SO MUCH when that happens. I try to be mega-careful but once in a while, things do go down. It's a shame, but I usually forget about it after a day or so because... what can I do, right?

Down the line, I'm thinking about having them re-finished and powdercoated bronze...

 

Brakes look great, man . I'm glad to hear they cleared the Kreutzers no problem (guess that extra 1/2" width pays off).

I think the red looks perfect...can't wait to see them up close. Now you need to paint the rears red to match .

 

Very nice!

 

looking good....

 

Damn!
I want those now!
I go to race track from time to time and those are really necesity..
It would help as much as LSD.

 

Lookin' good!!!!
