nice brakes, can't say i'm a big fan of the wheel though. it's like eliminating the dish look.

Lookin' great Greg! The black lips with the gunmetal face looks great on the Ti Gray with the black Burnout lip. Gives it some nice contrast. Can't wait to see them with the bodykit on!

Rotr, your BBK and wheels looks great!

Does larger caliper require a larger master cylinder or is the fluid capacity of OEM unit enough? Brake feel good and firm?

I think that looks really nice. Is it the camera giving that bluish hue in the top photo?
