Default Big brake pics

Years ago I purchased a dilusi Stage III brake kit. 6 piston front and 4 piston rear wilwood calipers w/13.6" two piece front and rear rotors. Recently a CF member (Morzof) had the calipers and hats powder coated and I had them put back on the car. Here are a few pics for you to see.

Thanks for posting the brembo pics!! I would have purchased those years ago if they had the rear brakes available. It was some time after I purchased this setup that the Brembo rears were made.

Are these wheels the hyperblacks that Nate sells or the chrome set? As far as I can tell, he only has pics of the chrome set on his website.

Also, the LG Brake upgrade you mentioned... I can't find any break sets on LG's website. I think their new web site is horrible. It's impossible to navigate and it doesn't have all their products on it. It's been this way for a couple months now too.
