Don't forget to post pics as soon as you put them on.
Also a review on them.

How much for them? Are they only for the fronts?

How big are the rotors? And I had no idea Rotora made an application for our 04-05 TL, last time I checked their website, I didn't see anything on it.

I dont remember exact price but it was around 1$300-$1400 with rear crossed drilled rotors but the calipers are for only front.

I guess it wouldn't matter anyway, since you will be replacing both rotors and calipers.

donte:

While I know jatt intends to use this on a 5at, I don't think that these rotors and calipers would be worth a $2000 upgrade over the Brembo brakes that come standard on the 6mt. Oh well... but another reason why I probably should have bought the 6mt.

I thought the blue they offered was a aqua looking blue, they really need to update their site, I would have opted for that metallic blue, looks so luxury too. $400 for black caliper? you could have had them both powdercoated for $150, oh well.
