I just installed a rotora big brake kit on the cl. I recently put rims on it so it was a requisite that the brakes be upgraded. The stock calipers are f-n ugly not to mention the puny warping oem rotors. First off i searched and found old info and was hoping some updated info could be provided. For anyone running this set up, what have you found to have the most bite, the most durability, and the least dusting. The latter being the most important with the rims. I don't track the car nor drive like an ass so i really only brake hard when i want to. At those times though i would like optimum performance. I bought them used from habib with 300 miles on them, thanks again bro for the deal, and thustly had to go with the light blue caliper. Either way it fills out the rims so much better, here are some pics.

 

nice, i too have the bbk. I am going with the ceramics next from rotora, cause the one that came with my kit make my wheel look black almost every week.

 

If they only have 300 miles, why change out the pads?

My Brembos turn my wheels black in two days of driving

 

i want to start fresh with some new pads, mostly piece of mind. i am saving up for your brakes and these were an interm purchase. i thought ceramic pads dusted more than composite?

 

its the other way around. But yeah, not to many options out there for the bbk's brakd pads unless you opt to get a custom one

 

ceramics are next to no dust

 

Agreed, Looks raelly nice there! I drove 1600 miles straight and my wheels were barely dirty. Compared to my old Stoptechs 50miles and they look like poo

 

Stop braking so hard Im not one to talk though, 11 thousand miles half of my front Brembos are gone - theyre fairly inexpensive for Brembos, I think the service rep told me they were only 500 (in the middle of screaming at me).

 

The ROTORA BBK's typically come with a street/sport ceramic pad unless a track pad with a more aggressive compound is requested. You can't change out these pads with other pads for the CL. The only pads you can buy are from ROTORA.

 

Nice tl's , Rockblocker: so i assume you are using composite pads from rotora?

 

Too bad I don't don't genious. And the aftermarket kit is not the same as the factory Brembos that you have. The pad is much more aggressive. And thats nice you only have to pay 500, for me it would be 800.
