Message 12.2" big brake kit that is a direct bolt on - no spacers and no longer studs needed! It's actually designed to push the rotor and caliper further into the wheel well by 2.5mm giving you more clearance.

12.5lbs total weight - over 6lbs lighter than stock (currently only for the 30mm calipers). Less rotational weight/mass equals faster acceleration and faster braking. Less physical weight means lighter car, less bounce mass and less load on the shocks and suspension components.

As I tell people who test drive my car and my buddy Josh Hawkins - who is the first to have the production kit on his car, "..only use about half the braking pressure you would normally use... otherwise, it will stop very hard and throw you forward."

The only "modding" needed is to bend back the dust plate and for the early models, the bottom-front part of the dust plate will need to be removed.

As you can see from the pictures, the cooling vanes are insane compared to stock, brembo, or the 350Z rotors and with the added weight savings, these are the best bang for your buck big brakes I have come across... I know.. "of course they are... there your kit.." hehe Here's the best part.... new Rotors are less than $50 a piece!!

I chose these rotors specifically for their weight savings and enhanced cooling capabilities. I have yet to have them fade.. Even from 165mph back down to 80mph in less than 4 seconds. And during the last autocross, Josh and I both were hard braking from 50 and 60+mph with no braking issues - other than the machining oil we didn't clean off burning off and smoking, but no stopping issues at all (Josh was on his metal master pads while I was on my HP+ pads).

The kit includes:

2 - rotors (1 left and 1 right)
2 - aluminum hats
2 - relocation brackets (1 left and 1 right)
4 - mounting bolts, nuts and washers

$675 shipped (lower 48 states) ... allow 7-10 days to setup and ship.. as each kits will be assembled and checked as orders are placed.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me or give me a call (916) 804-5688.

Please ignore the scratches... this from my first setup with my test brackets - I did over a years worth of autocross, drag, drifting and daily driving on the kit before making it available.
