I'm was looking for some quality rotors, but an upgrade is always nice.

That said, I can't justify the cost for Brembo's no matter how nice they are... and I've never heard of Rotora until yesterday... and they are half the cost and seem to have a good reputation.

I think most people bag on Brembo's because they can't afford them.

I personally know of one guy who's cracked Brembo's and they are on his modified porsche (sp?) twin turbo and he cracked them on track day at Willow Springs doing 180mph down the front stretch when he nailed the brakes for turn 1.... and he still swears by them.

 

my concern would be with the spare tire.. would the oem spare from the 5AT fit over 6MT brembos?

 

no it will not, 6MT TLs have a 17" spare where 5AT TLs have a 16" spare

 

No it won't. I'm not even sure if the 6MT 17" spare will clear the aftermarket Brembo kits which have wider calipers than the factory Brembos. You can check it out yourself by using the Brembo template below:



Use the following values for the A, B, and C dimensions in the diagram:

• A = 32mm
• B = 110mm
• C = 192mm
