when i installed the Rotora cross drilled and slotted rotors, i also put some EBC Redstuff pads and Goodridge stainless steel mesh brake lines in. i feel a better response and some more stopping power while braking at all speeds. i think that the lines are mainly responsible for this.

as for the rotors themselves, you'll see that most say that slotted rotors work best. i bought the ones i have both for whatever good i can get from them performance-wise and for looks.

So I'm guessing you're riding on Comptech springs according to your sig? What's your impression of them? Ride quality? What's the total drop front/rear? Any rubbing with your new wheel/tire combo?

knowing your style of critique, i'll take your comment as a compliment.

yep. i bought these from a member named B.J.TL. and yes, i will eventually sell these when i find a great set of gunmetal mesh-style wheels with a polished lip. that'll be my next pick.

i can't compare the CT springs ride quality or handling to the stock since the first owner had them replaced. the CT drop as you can see, has more of a drop up front (2"F/1.7"R). the handling had from them was great even when i had only these springs. i didn't think them to be a rough ride. buy them springs!


and yes, Jeremy, i had mentioned somewhere in this thread that i used the tape method.

thanks for all of the compliments, fellas!!

When I think Konig I think cheap and cheesy, I like the color and the quality of the pics are good though.

that's one long sentence. i haven't seen these made in a four lug pattern. so your guy may have bought these wheels with a five lug pattern. that or the wrong offset. so far, i've only seen a +38 and +45 offsets. and i bought these from an AZ member in Utah.

I saw a set of those wheels on a different car over this past weekend.

Not to shabby Luis. It matches your car very well.

yeah, you're right. here's a pic i found.

if you saw them and liked them and this price stood as you say, then do it!!
what, are they four-lugged 18s? what kind of finish?

Yea, they are four lugged 18's, in gunmetal finish, wrapped in brand new yokohama rubber.
They should look good. I have a black first gen cl. Anything I should worry about like rubbing issues and such?
