A friend of mine, BlueVelvet, hooked me up with a barely used set of 6 piston 355mm Rotora Big Brake kit during my birthday last month.
But, with a culmination of my friend giving me a good deal, me wanting and me always wanting the more aggressive look of an aftermarket BBK setup, I pulled the trigger!





Blue does not match with the pearl red paint job of my car so I disassembled it to prep and paint it. Gold goes well with red much better



The main bolts were a pain to break loose. The 3/8" impact ratchet wouldn't work so I had to bust out 1/2" impact wrench



Using ScotchBrite to scuff the original finish so that new finish could properly adhere



6 pistons > 4 Pistons

For those, that have not seen "JDM" Raindbow chrome stickers, it looks like regular chrome most of the time and changes color at certain light angles.

Get them done already!!

 

DOPE, looking forward to seeing the results!!!

 

Been following this on FB Jerry, gonna be sick!

 

SDG might go into gold overdose when he lays his eyes on these, can't wait to see the results.

 

Those are gonna look yummie!!

 

^^LOL, so VERY true.

 

looks nice.. what u gonna put on the back

 

Gonna look sick!

IN for installed pixs!

 

Can the decals handle the heat?

 

Thanks guys! Does anyone on here have any experience with reassembling these? I am afraid of not giving it enough torque and have it fail on me

Stock til I can find a rear set for a good deal

They should. BBK's usually don't get hot from daily driving. Even the stock Brembos are way cool to touch after a drive.

 

Updated photos?

 

Don't over torque the bolts. I would do it by hand to and not the torque gun. Use locktite on all the bolts when reassembling them. +1 for pics!

 

Are these done yet?

 

are those the oem blue calipers that you get from rotora? they look more greyish blue, is it a custom finish? the blue i've seen for the rotora was a very vivid blue, like a true blue. or is it because of the lighting?
