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 helped install the BBK and everything went on smoothly. but the pedal doesn't feel firm, even after going thru 2 1/2 bottles of brake fluid. i even used my vacuum bleeder!

greg, did you find anything on the brake booster???

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