oooh, it would look nice. i have a tough time justifying $1700 tho unless they have some serious performance increase too. I don't know the specs on them. What about rotors?

I haven't called to see if rotors are included...I'm assuming they would be for that starting price.

I think rotors are not included, just the calipers, their description doesn't indicate any rotors included at all.

It's not worth it. I just got of the phone with Walter from CEC and he confirmed this...I think we can all agree that this would be a waist of money...but it sure would be nice to get them.
