Pics of New 8 Piston 15" Rotora Brakes | New Wheels

I just installed a set of Rotora 15" 8 Piston Front Brakes and Rotora 14" 4 Piston Rear Brakes. I am very pleased with the results. The brake pedal feels a little more stiff probably due to the Motul brake fluid, and the its feels like the car can actually stop now. Ever since I installed the supercharger, the brakes felt like the weakest link in the car.

I also added a new set of 19" VIP Series iForged Fabulous wheels gloss black center with a ruby red lip. The new tires are from the Falken GRB 452 series. In the front I am running 235/35/19 and the rears are 275/30/19. For those familar with the older Falken GRB 451 series tires, they were made very undersized and had that strecthed looked to them. The new GRB 452 has a stiffer sidewall. The 19x9 does not even stretch the 235 tire in the front as you can see from the pics.

I love how the front brakes fill the entire 19" wheel space. It almost looks like there is no gap between the brakes and the wheels.
