This stuff was cheap compared to the OEM Brembo rotors. I hope the quality is good

Not much else to tell yet. I just got my tracking number and they are on the way! Just in time for my next track day at Sebring November 10th.

Nice! What's the weight savings on those 2-pc rotors?

Not sure of exact weight, but supposed over 20% lighter than stock. The rears are only 1 piece because of the way the emergency brake is set up. It will match/compliment the front rotor however.

Looks like I will be sporting the USF Bulls colors...Green and Gold.

Well they should perform quite a bit better after that so I think that qualifies as a mod.

I was happy with the price. You can PM Andy through my350z.com for prices The internet is a big place so who knows if I got the best deal...but I did compared to other sites I looked at I believe I did. They shipped the order and gave me a tracking number the same day I ordered the parts. Andy and Eddie were very helpful, knowledgable, and patient when answering my many questions about which choices were best for my needs.

I plan on doing a picturial instructional post like I did when I replaced my brake pads...so keep checking back

The parts arrived today!!!! Yeah! The Project Mu SCR-Pro rotors for Brembos are only slotted, not slotted and dimpled like the stock photos I posted. The nearly black rotor surface looks awesome. Installation will be Saturday. I will be sure to post pictures like promised.

Last time i checked modding meant modifying....which means your modifying the original equipment that came with your vehicle from factory.....so if you change your brake set up you are modifying your car...hope that answers your question.

Good move if you can replace factory parts with equal or better parts for cheaper.
