looking niiiice.
and a brake job is not a brake job without a hammer. !

You, sir, are a man of class. The setup is going more and more in that direction!

Good stuff, did you get a whole kit? Did you replace the break lines while you were in there?

Why does the caliper only cover about 2/3 of the rotor? Is this normal vs. the pad clamping to most of the rotor surface?

see the sig

RB are supposed to be quite a bit lighter than OEM. Is that noticeable on the road?

Adino: I had the rotors prior to getting the new calipers...no i didnt add the lines, i should have though

Optical TDI: IDK, its the same when ever you get new rotors...

rx8thunder: it is lighter that stock, and yes the new calipers are noticible on the road

lucky bastard.

what did it set you back?

looks awesome man. i bet it feels awesome too.

That looks like sex.

thanks for the comments guys...

kersh4w: it set me back about a grand... but if you add the rotors that I had from eairlier it was about 1500 total...

Very nice work. They look sick with the new red calipers. How do the new brakes feel?

Looks awesome! How's the performance? If that lift is in your garage then I'm really going to be jealous!!!

thanks guys.. the brakes feel great, you can feel it when your just crusing but when your on it and go to brake you can really feel it...

and no the lift is acutally at my buddys shop :)

so on point....well deserving of some recognition!

well here is an update :)

finally got the two-piece rotors yay :) sorry that they are crappy pics... there from my cell phone

WOW, that looks B*TCHIN!

haha thanks.... I would agree with you sir

Very nice! Are they the 13" or 12.6"?

The 12.7" ones

looks great

They look amazing. I have been eying this set up for some time now. Curious, why did you decide against the 13" setup?

Alucard: Grats on getting the 2 piece rotors, those things are BALLER! ;)
ugh, now you have me thinking about even MORE mods....

RA-Eight: I actually had their one piece setup along time ago.. and then when I added their 4-piston caliper I wanted it to work with the stock rotor size because I didnt know when I would be going to get the two piece... if i had to do it again... i would save all my money from the get-go and just buy the 13" kit....lol... but it turned out great and it still functions the same so I am happy...

Jedi: hahaha yea those brakes are probably my most costly mod... and I havent tracked it yet :(

Looks awesome man, really enhances the appearance

I'm going through that exact thought process. I think I'd like to go 13", 2-piece off the bat. But haven't decided on the RPF1 fitting or OEM. My concern is I'm running Gram Lights 57F for track (18x8.5, +45et, all corners), and I'm not sure if the spokes will clear. My daily wheels, Volk GTS (19x8.5, +34et front) will clear, no problem.

Special! Looking very nice.

smart men prefer brakes over intakes :)

Definitely one of my favorites 8's. I love functional mods. Looks sick man.

thanks for the comments... there really appreciated :)

here is some pictures from my actual camera... not my cell phone :)

Thinking of these myself, do have you any intention to install the rear 2 pieces rotor to match?

Look very good....
