Non of you guys mentioned how thick each brake pad was. The rotor is sitting on a pile of brake pads.

They may look great but a weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bit out of my budget.

I was watching Rides andthe had the C6R on it. they were gloating about the Carbon Rotors and saying that they were $10K each, but would last a whole race. Of course the next shot is at Sebring where one blew out
