Total cost = $520 for the whole front setup.
I will toss another grand into the money I want to spend on brakes and go buy myself a Sony SXRD for the football season.

To give you a reference, though, at least for the 1 pc BBK, the 99-03 TL and 01-03 CL require a 5MM spacer on the OEM wheels. I think you really only need 3 MM but they don't usually make spacers that small. The 04+ TL does not require a spacer for the 1 pc BBK with the OEM wheels.
When said that the BBK 1pc fits the 04+TL OEM wheels... did you mean the 17" or the 18"????
Thanks

is there a large difference in brake force distribution between :
13" front BBK / 13" rear BBK
and
14" front BBK / 13" rear BBK
?
i'm projecting to buy fronts first, but i'm afraid to be disappointed about the balance if i get 13" front first, and after a while, putting rear 13" : that i should've taken 14" for fronts.
any input/review on this ?
thanks !

can you buy cross-drilled (non-slotted) rotors only with the other stuff?

Josh i think i am ready to get Rotora BBK's. Could you please send me the Excel file you were talking about so i can research..
I have 2006 TL (if you rememeber, u did my coils/rsb 2 months ago). In the summer i run 19 x 8.5" + 42MM. They are the same EXACT specs as the ron jon inspyres. Think it will clear?
i noticed you said that 14" is much
is 13" front * rear more then (overkill wise) the just 14" upfront.
I have to be real honest, the stock 5AT brakes are HORRIBLE. i need a resolution. especially if i become s/c
Thanks josh

Request the info you need so I can send you a chart/file on the BBK's. I would think the kits would clear fine. I know RJ designs his wheels based on the ROTORA BBK fitment.

Just a Note: ROTOTA FITMENT FILE
Once you print the pdf fitment file from Rotora PLEASE verify that the dimensions were to SCALE... when I initially printed it, the dimensions were off by 9%... so I changed my printing options and set the file to print at 109% and everything worked out... remember that the dimensions are in milimeters (mm) and there's 25.4 mm to an inch = 25.4mm=1in

Im really interested in buying these, but I have a couple of questions
1. What is the difference between 1pc and a 2pc set?
2. What is the advantage of getting just slotted rotors instead of slotted/drilled rotors? and getting drilled rotors instead of slotted/drilled rotors?

The 2-piece rotor does have its advantages:
- Aluminum hat w/ iron disc
- Cool more effectively due to less restrictive air flow
- Less prone to distortion/warping due to hat being separate from disc
- Hat can be reused so less cost on replacing rotors
2. If you have the slots you don't need the drills. The majority of BBK buyers do drilled and slotted b/c it looks nicer.
