those calipers are hella sick.

I dunno how they would look with chrome or high-polished wheels though.

Thus far, this looks pretty impressive. I will be very interested to see how it looks with the wheels on, etc.

Any issues with getting the brake system back up and running (bled, adjusted, etc.)?

i think they look great behind the stock wheels so far, waiting for my wheels to come in, should be here with in the week.

no issues with the brakes getting it back up and running, the installation of them was very easy, pretty much bolt on, the bleeding of the brakes required a bit more time because you have to bleed the outside of the caliper, then the inside, and had to do that several times on each corner to make sure all the air was gone..
but other then that.. they are great!

especially after the break-in of the pads and rotors (series of hard stops to heat the pads up)

damn, those look impressive. Any reason why you went with the slotted rotors as opposed to cross drilled and slotted?

ehh just a personal preference, i kinda liked the look of slotted only at the time of purchase, but now looking at other cars im liking the look of cross drilled and slotted too.. but the good thing about 2 piece rotors, is that i can later buy the cross drilled and slotted rotor, and just swap it from the hat, when they wear out

That's great picture quality. ROTORA should hire you. Glad to see everything looks and functions well. By the way that coating is basically a phosphate coating that wears off after the pad makes contact. However it stays intact where it does not make contact to prevent the buildup of oxidation or rust.

Nice, Nice, NICE.

Not sure about the chrome though, but I'm sure the wheels you are getting will set it off!

I can tell you don't like cheap...
