Sneak peak.. this is the new rotor.. that is a 16" 7th gen rim.
 Stock Rotor w/ rim installed Stock GT Rotor no rim New rotor no rim Probably be 2 versions of the brake kit. One would be a 318mm rotor designed for use on 16" or larger rims. The other would be a 323mm rotor which will only fit 17" or larger rims. Both using the same 4 pot caliper. Personally I'll be using 318mm rotor.. The price difference between the two will be pretty small.. The 318mm kit will actually be the more expensive one.. between 30-40 dollars more. Btw, these are camera phone pictures... I never thought I'd see the day when cam phone pics looked this good... -------------------- 87 4runner DLX 22re, 5spd, 4.30gr, 4" lift, 30" tires, HID w/ Projectors, 6spkr + sub, custom exhaust, 94 celica leather seats, SR5 gauge cluster and clinometer. Future engine swap... possibly a 2jzge.

no, the fluid was just changed and the calipers have about 70k on them. so while they are not brand new, i would imagine they still have some good spunk left in them.
for the most part the car stops well, however there have been a few instances where i have noticed the limitations of this setup. you are right, no one NEEDS a bbk. but once you start making more and more power and add more weight to the car with something like a motor swap, you will start to outgrow those stock calipers/rotors. a lot of it depends on your driving habits too. someone like itchty, with 330hp at the wheels would probably benefit a lot from a bbk. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
