Did I mention we are hooked up for the exclusive North American distribution of these products for all the European Marques? .. I can make/get them for Porsche, BMW, Audi, Lambo, Ferrari, MB..

Custom setups require that the customer give me wheel specs (offset, diameter, width, etc, etc), and I can provide you back with the recommended rotor & caliper setups.

I am spec'ing out a set for a customer with a SLR...

Also, looks like we will be putting a set on a 2007 CL600.. I am spec'ing that setup as well.

If we go ahead with either project, I'll take some install shots and update you guys.. We'll also do some before & after braking tests and see if we can get some stopping data.

Lol.. Ok.. I have no comeback for that one...

Well... we've been testing these for a while now.. We installed a set on a Ferrari 360 Challenge car and had it down in Florida at the Ferrari club meet.. It was thrashed around the track all day and when the rotor thickness was inspected it was perfect...

Looks like we have a winner here... These are some serious brake kits..

I'll post some more pics when I've collected everything..

I think the Havoc will want a VRP Carbon Rotor upgrade kit soon.

Will my Stock AMG Calipers work with these 380mm Carbon Rotors?

I believe my stock front rotors are 360mm and AMG makes performance upgrade rotors measuring 380mm for my SL. I was told I just have to use 20" wheels, which I have. Please double check...

Also, is the carbon rotors just for the front, or the rear as well?

These are full carbon rotors front and back. If AMG has a set of 380mm for the car then they will work.. i need to double check the rotor thickness to make sure it is ok.

No longer stock '06 E55, A3 3.2 Quattro, LRD4 HSE, R107 280SL
The 380mm upgrade rotors are basically the Brembo GT upgrade ... 19" rims are good enuf for clearance I believe.

Yes I think 19" will clear fine...... Juicee's 030 rotors measure 380 mm in the front and he's running 19" in the front.
