They're a little bit larger than the brembos and the akebono calipers are thicker by a couple mm than the brembos. If you're concerned about the weight of the rotors you could always get the 2 piece rotors and save yourself a couple pounds. I picked my set up off of the forums here and then sent the calipers off to mike the powdercoater to get done in Porsche yellow

Yea def.^^^^ thats why i wont settle for oem brembos they look too small for me. My ISS's have 19" faces and i know 14" rotors and those calipers will fill that up but im also trying not to add crazy weight to the vehicle if its unnecessary weight.

Ya, just go with the 2 piece rotors then. They're a little bit more expensive but worth the weight savings if that's something you're concerned with. If you look a couple pages back you can see what they looked like underneath the 19in step lip meisters vs the 19in gts wheels, they definitely fill the wheel up nicely

Your calipers just pop like crazy against your body color man...my blue isn't bright enough to pull off the bright yellow like that...
