Default Got Rotors!?!?!

Going to install a set of CTS-V binders that I hope helps stop some new power. Picked up a set of Brembo rotors and couldn't help posting a pic of rotor in proportion to the salad shooters its currently rolling around on. Found it kind of funny to be honest...think I even laughed a little when I opened the box. Holy hell these things are HUGE!

Thank god I went with UMI tubular stuff up front to offset the new weight!!

Can't wait to get these things on...

Could you throw one on a scale and weigh it? I would be interested to know the difference between those and stock.

Hey Jeremy, we can't even get him to work on his car, and you want him to weigh a rim?

Lol, that's good stuff man. I was hoping for a weight on the rotor. I plan to run the same setup on my car. It kind of sucks to add that much unsprung weight but with the big open 18's on my car I need something like this to fill them out. Plus if it is way off I can change the valving on those new Penske C/O's I just picked up.

I'm going to ignore what the OLD war dog is blabbin' about up there....though there is some truth

Jeremy, I'll do what I can for ya...I would guess they're at least 50% heavier. I don't have the stockers off plus she's heading down the road for a couple weeks for some cosmetic upgrades. Could weigh the Brembo for ya though to give you part of your request...

If you want, look me up at the MiFbody site....
