It's not actually putting the wheels on that is a problem. It is switching the tires from my rp03 to the mustang wheels and then getting tires for the rp03

Cornholio if you can't deal with opinions, maybe you should stay off the Internet. You see everything as an attack against you for some reason.

Cool that weight savings will make up some for the turbo, etc.

Yeap! no idea what the rear weight is, I'll check that when i replace them. Also I am looking at the BHR lightweight calipers for my tax return next year ... Plus the forgestars I already have. That should equal some tremendous unsprung weight loss!

Yea they are in production...

Have a feeling it will be similar to these at a similar cost.

Hmm, for that price can't you get a full BBK for not much more?

BBK's usually run around $1700+ for the fronts. Plus they usually add weight and do very little for performance unless you are putting down some serious numbers like 3 rotor status.

From what I've read on our cars the best setup is two piece rotors all around with good pads.
