Ok guys, I finally got around to upgrading my brakes. Added new rotors, pads, and powdered coated calipers. I wanted to add braided lines but the vendor sent me the wrong size. Always something goes wrong.

What do you think?

Looks great! What set of rotors did you go with? Are those Eradispeed? 1 piece or 2 piece?

Also, what type of pads did you match up.

Baer Decela , I went with carbotech pads . I got a really good price on the Decelas, I wanted Eradispeed but I already ordered my calipers and didn't want to grind down the back calipers . Thanks for the comps.

Thanks for info. I know our CCWs pose challenges for larger than OEM brake options.
