Looks like a fandangled pizza tray with a swish pizza cutter!

But fark, reckon they'd haul you up pretty hard.

This is the largest I've seen in person.. 380mm carbon ceramics. They look small behind 19" BBS.

The rotor in Adams pic looks bigger.

So what's with the Ferrari horse being upside down in both pics?!!?

Problem with the China brakes is that you get excessive flex in the calipers and poor quality seals that often blow out or leak. I don't think it is worth it considering a set of Subaru 4-pots with good pads, good slotted rotors and a PROPER and REGULAR* brake bleeds will see you right.

I had 4/2pot brake set-up on my old RS Liberty and never had a problem with the so-called "basic" brake set-up. DBA 4000 slotted rotors, Goodridge braided brake lines, DS2500 Ferodo pads, Castrol Super fluid, Cusco master cylinder brace - never had fade, always had a good pedal and it pulled up very, very hard on the street and on the track.

If you have a street car that sees the track max. once a month, I don't see the point in spending big on OEM-spec Brembos when a carefully thought-out package will stand you in just as good stead. And part of that is regularly flushing out old fluid in your system - people generally only do a half-arsed job of bleeding their brakes, but I find that putting 1 or 2 extra bottles through the lines really makes a huge difference.

Of course, bitchez at da Maccanatzzz won't give you r3spekt, so that will obviously have to be taken into consideration. Don't want no fools disrespecting, homie.

* once every 3 months if you drive hard. Once every six for sympathetic users.
