13.2 rotor swap on 08 v6
#21
I put 13.2" rotors calipers and pads on my V6 from roush as well. Install was very easy and I saw a slight increase in braking power. I did not see any problems with the length of the brake lines in my car, I did not have to change anything. It is very easy to change the calipers on these cars, I never did a brake job before this and I did it easily. To bleed the brakes all you have to do is buy a brake bleeder kit from the auto parts store and have someone pump the brakes a few times. There is a valve on the back of the caliper covered with a little rubber boot you just have to connect a rubber line to and open while someone presses the brakes. I painted my calipers black, and put a few coats of clear coat on them so they stay nice and glossy. I also took the time to paint my rotors black on the hub part and the the edges so they don't corrode. Very happy with them.

Or did they just look OK where your front tires were sitting/turned to?

I made sure they were long enough lock to lock. I also used caliper paint on the rotors. They have been on the car about a month now and have worked great, there is no peeling or cracking of the paint on the rotors at all. I used a wheel clear coat on the calipers.
