The kit comes with 13 Cross Drilled & Slotted Vented 2 Piece Rotors, Cast Aluminum 4 Piston 2 Piece Calipers (Metallic Blue), Black Anodized Caliper Mounting Brackets, H2 Ceramic Competition Pads and Stainless Steel Brake Lines. Basically everything that you need except the fluid. The installation was not very difficult at all.

After buying this kit I got a case of the "might as well's", so I also added Centric rotors, Akebono Pro ACT pads, Russell lines & speed bleeders in the back. I also installed the Corksport stainless clutch line too. That way I had all new lines, and I could bleed the entire system all at the same time.

I just had the car out today briefly to bed in the brakes and they felt very responsive. I did about 8 or so 60-10 stops and didn't really notice any fading at all. I'll have to wait until Spring to really do some spirited driving, but overall I am pleased with the setup.

NICE!! I like to the no-wing setup btter. The only thing IMO , Is the color blue has to go, I would of gone with a red caliper, but thats just my taste. Nice and clean ride brotha.
 
That looks really good. Good choice with the Blue. It have more a contrast with the orange, and stands out quite nicely. Red just wouldn't have looked that good. Nice work
 
I'm drooling, your car is sick. I think it's more like you got a case of "if I do it, I'll do it right!". Just awesome...that's my next mod for sure.
 
I chose the blue intentionally, I really think that it stands out. I did not think that the Red would look right with the orange & black theme. The blue is their metallic blue, which is their signature color. In addition to the blue & red they also have black, chrome, gunmetal, silver & gold. But those colors have a 60 day lead time.

I ordered them directly from Rotora. I got a partial sponsorship so they were purchased at a discounted price.
 
I don't like the orange window sills.

anyways..brake kit looks good. have you put them through their paces yet?
 
sick, plan sick. i installed a bbk on a friends 240 and we installed adjustable proportioning valves to help level out the braking bias is you run into that proplem. looks killer man, enjoy those for me:(
 
i got a spicy man, and i gotta tell ya yours looks off the chain...keep up the good work, and im thinkin bout trimming the black off my windows like urs, except i got black tint so i dont know if it will look good....maybe ill do a photochop of ur ride...

keep the black.. it's just my opinion of course but it kills the profile of the car, and the nice taper of the rear pillar. With dark tint it makes even more sense to leave the stuff black, because it makes it look like one bit span of dark glass instead of a bunch of pieces with random metal between them.
 
Your car looks really nice and clean and the brakes look good - that blue is probably the best choise you could have made. I was going to buy this kit a few months ago but I wanted Rotora's on all 4s and they only made it for the fronts so I didn't get it. Could you post a closer shot of your rears?
 
wow, excellent excellent brakes my friend.!

Your spicy has to be the sexiest one I've seen, great job and keep up the good work.

I sell these big brake kits and I can arrange for a 3 kit special if there is interest.
We were prob one of the first to put it on a MSP on Pirana's MSP.
