That's a big reduction in unsprung weight!
Thanks, yeah it's incredible.. the magic of engineering indeed, I couldn't have said it better myself. :thumbsup:Looks great. You're right about the weight, I have the 355mm kit and these are the weights I measured at my mechanics shop during the install. It's so cool that something so much bigger and more powerful is also lighter, the magic of engineering.
OEM Rotors - 19 pounds
StopTech 14" Rotors - 18 pounds
OEM Calipers - 14.5 pounds
StopTech ST40 4-Piston Calipers - 8 pounds
That is also true if they are two piece, I know mine are one piece. But even so, they are much, much lighter than stock I mean you don't just tell the difference, it's mind blowing just holding the parts on your hands. I expected this more or less but I didn't think they would actually feel that lighter.superskyline your rotors are two piece. that's gonna make them considerably lighter than darkx's rotors.

edit: I'm referring to the kit as a whole.. Sorry if I act so surprised and excited it's my first BBK. :smile:
Well I'm running 9-6-9 on stage 2+ and 100oct RON at the moment and I'm going to attempt 9-7-9, hopefully with that I'll hit 370. If I was on custom tune I would bet you anything I would hit it and without w/m, it's a pretty standard number over here. But even on a ready-to-go tune such as Revo, I think with these settings it'll do the trick, or will be pretty close anyway. It's not like I'll be disappointed if I hit 365 to be honest. :smile:You expect to get 370 hp from that set-up without meth? I wish you luck, but I don't think you will hit that.
Thanks, I'm excited :happyanim:Sounds really, really awesome! :thumbsup:
