4 wheel 4 piston Rotora Big Brake Kit installed [PICS]
Just had my brake installed yesterday.
355 4 Piston Red with Slotted 2pc floating rotor FRONT
350 4 Piston Red with Slotted 2pc floating rotor REAR
Initial feel, pedal feel is the similar to stock but slightly firmer, and definitely not the same after repeated braking. Obviously, the only way to truly test the effectiveness and braking improvement is on a track after repeated heat cycles. The lighter rotors give a more nimble go, less rotational mass. Super happy after day 1. Thanks to Loren @ Rotora and Spencer @ Kirkland Autoworks.

looking epic! How do they feel if ABS kicks in? Just curious....

Looks awesome! Maybe I'll see you on the road some time. A lot of people say that a rear BBK is totally not necessary. But honestly the front looks incomplete without a rear BBK too.

Yup, a rear big brake kit won't do squat for a braking in an FWD car, the looks are the only improvement.

Pretty much the same thing, the AWD car in question is essentially a FWD car, with a FWD frontal weight bias, with additional AWD components. The fact is, adding more capable brakes to the rear of any car with a front weight bias will provide no benefit except looks.
