nice dude..

I'm usually never one to cry about the cost of something to better your stang...

but wow.. 8 bills for just rotors.. I'd have to see some data that proves they're worth that much more than std. rotors..

but mainly congrats and i'm sub'n to see some install pics

I'm not actually performing the install. Working 80+ hours makes it a little hard to find the time for this, lol. I'll let you know how everything goes and how they ride.

Not to get all up in your business, but are either of the options street legal? I know many of the counties that are near Cleveland require E-Checks which has made me stray away from anything too crazy. Are you lucky enough to be outside one of these counties or will you just not worry about it? Just curious is all. Most cars I see that have either one are outside of the 25 year mark.

Also, I'm looking forward to your review as I've been wondering how much of a difference a brake upgrade can feel. :P

I'm actually in stark county which is just south of the dreaded e-check so the offroad setup will be alright. I'll let you know how everything goes.

Looks great, though... it looks like monitoring the temp on the side of the disc might be a little difficult... at least from the photo angle.

Looks very nice. I think your caliper paint turned out a bit better than mine did too. Still looks great all around.
