Rotora Brakes

I'm looking to buy BBK for my car. Can you guys give me your opinion on Rotora BBKs? I'm looking to get a 6 piston front and 4 piston rear.

I drive the racism out of BadDebt. ;)
i think for those prices, it really depends on the size of rotors you want and front application or both f/r.

I really doubt you'd find any difference in any of these kits for a daily driver. The benefits from one to another on the track will be based mainly on proper pad selection and less about name brand.

Have you looked into BREMBO/ AMG/ Wilwood?

AMG has their 6/4 pot for a reasonable price.

To be honest I just started looking a few days ago. I was told AMG brakes would be expensive and that I might as well go with aftermarket. I was actually going for the 355x32mm rotors for front and rear. I'm not looking to track my car. This is my weekend car. Do you know what the AMG 6/4 go for?

I've heard that Brembos are the best, but again I don't want to spend that much money on a car that I don't track.
