ROTORA offers the upgrade kit for about $900 plus shipping but you must send your old calipers back. Here is the info regarding this from ROTORA:

Rotora will offer an upgrade to replace the old 1- piece rotor kit for your clients as follows:

- Brand new set of Forged 4 pistons Calipers (Red or Metallic Blue) of their choice.
- Brand new set of Billet Aluminum Hats.
- Brand new set of Disc rings (Slotted or Drilled & Slotted) of their choice.

Rotora in return will need their old Calipers and 1- piece rotors ship back to us pre-paid for this exchange. Also please inform your client’s that they can still use their Brackets, Lines and Pads that came with their old Kit. If they decline, Option #2 is for them to purchase the whole new replacement 2- piece rotor brake kit system we offer for their vehicle.

about $900

nothing too much, but more so then you can't get the upgrade, and sell your old parts to make money, so it is also helping to keep their name's "prestige" up too (anyways they will probably just go in the scrape pile to tell you the truth)

But now i am considering the Wilwood bbk, since the cost was about $900 new on ebay and the used Rotora calipers were about $500 + new rotors.

Are the Wilwood bbk just as good? or any preference between the two?
I guess you will not be getting the Rotoras then?

lol nope, but i was thinking of getting the used 2 piece, however the replacements are way too expensive. But after p.diddy's suggestion to use the RL calipers, i was thinking of going that route anyways.
