Just curious. Are they worth the money?

Thanks.

I do. I think they are worth the money, if you get them standard from the factory

Yep, OEM brembo's. Definitely worth it. I was talking to an evo friend of mine the other day who concurred. These have saved my ass a few times.

I have brembo rotors on the front end. I got them because my stock rotors were warping like little whores. It's only been about 5k miles but they've been awsome so far.

Not the same thing

And have had them in the past on a different car and they were well worth the money (if you drive hard or race the car)

I honestly just like the look. I doubt very seriously if I'll ever "use the as intended"

Can I get just the calipers or do I need all of the hardware (ie: breaklines rotors etc...)

I think I'm one of the handful that has them on this site and they are the best mod I could have done to the car.

Are they worth the extra dough compared to a Rotora set-up? Having driven cars with both I can say there is almost no perceivable difference, you just get cooler looking calipers and the Brembo name.

i had the BBK on my CL-S/TL-S, and while they did greatly improve the brake feeling and stopping time, they also warped much like the stock set up did, except the rotors were like $300 to replace.

well if you planning racing, yes. For street use, I would say it would be a waste.

Interesting, did you get cross drill/slotted rotors?

My OEM rotors have never warped (knock on wood)

Yea I doubt I would put them on aftermarket but they are a very nice addition on the 6MT TL's.
