Deetz,

It's Rotora and supposedly it is bigger than the Brembo and cost a lot less (for those less fortunate people like me who has to find bargains! )

I am getting them for 3385$ shipped to my door.
I think it's about 1300$ less than brembo. Brembos are just straight out Pimp.

sfbimmer,
are those Brembos a real big improvement over the stock brakes? I have had many close encounters with my stock brakes and am thinking of changing the brakes. Please advise your thoughts.

The Brembo's are NOT the same as stock, they are 8 Piston Calipers on 2pc 380MM Discs and stop like crazy!! We put a set on a customers car awhile back and I went out on the ride to check them.... BIG IMPROVEMENT!

Mgm...

I'm with Evan on this one -- yes, they did make a significant improvement especially on this pig of a car.

Of course without actual data, I won't be able to quantify it, but as far as initial bite, fade resistance, pedal feel -- these areas were all improved.

General specs:

Stock rotor: 350mm (13.78"), 6-piston caliper
Brembo BBK: 380mm (14.96"), 8-piston caliper

The 22's still dwarf them!
