Rotora Big Brake Kit Installed

[Concept MSP]

The kit comes with 13” Cross Drilled & Slotted Vented 2 Piece Rotors, Cast Aluminum 4 Piston 2 Piece Calipers (Metallic Blue), Black Anodized Caliper Mounting Brackets, H2 Ceramic Competition Pads and Stainless Steel Brake Lines. Basically everything that you need except the fluid. The installation was not very difficult at all.

After buying this kit I got a case of the "might as well's", so I also added Centric rotors, Akebono Pro ACT pads, Russell lines & speed bleeders in the back. I also installed the Corksport stainless clutch line too. That way I had all new lines, and I could bleed the entire system all at the same time.

I just had the car out today briefly to bed in the brakes and they felt very responsive. I did about 8 or so 60-10 stops and didn't really notice any fading at all. I'll have to wait until Spring to really do some spirited driving, but overall I am pleased with the setup.

NICE!! I like to the no-wing setup btter. The only thing IMO , Is the color blue has to go, I would of gone with a red caliper, but thats just my taste. Nice and clean ride brotha.

[yashart@work]

That looks really good. Good choice with the Blue. It have more a contrast with the orange, and stands out quite nicely. Red just wouldn't have looked that good. Nice work

[meinp5]

Wow! That looks awesome! Where did you order them from?

[Jaysanooch]

I'm drooling, your car is sick. I think it's more like you got a case of "if I do it, I'll do it right!". Just awesome...that's my next mod for sure.

[Jaysanooch]

Is that blue a custom blue? Doesn't look as dark as the ones advertised.

[Concept MSP]

I chose the blue intentionally, I really think that it stands out. I did not think that the Red would look right with the orange & black theme. The blue is their metallic blue, which is their signature color. In addition to the blue & red they also have black, chrome, gunmetal, silver & gold. But those colors have a 60 day lead time.

I ordered them directly from Rotora. I got a partial sponsorship so they were purchased at a discounted price.

[FunkyBuddha]

I don't like the orange window sills.

anyways..brake kit looks good. have you put them through their paces yet?

[Greensleeper]

Car is sick! ROTORA BBK is awesome!

[kudakev615]

sick, plan sick. i installed a bbk on a friends 240 and we installed adjustable proportioning valves to help level out the braking bias is you run into that proplem. looks killer man, enjoy those for me:(

[Kansei]

mmm beautiful spicy orange! brakes look sweet.

[SergMSP]

i got a spicy man, and i gotta tell ya yours looks off the chain...keep up the good work, and im thinkin bout trimming the black off my windows like urs, except i got black tint so i dont know if it will look good....maybe ill do a photochop of ur ride...

keep the black.. it's just my opinion of course but it kills the profile of the car, and the nice taper of the rear pillar. With dark tint it makes even more sense to leave the stuff black, because it makes it look like one bit span of dark glass instead of a bunch of pieces with random metal between them.

[Larone]

Your car looks really nice and clean and the brakes look good - that blue is probably the best choise you could have made. I was going to buy this kit a few months ago but I wanted Rotora's on all 4s and they only made it for the fronts so I didn't get it. Could you post a closer shot of your rears?

[Concept MSP]

Here is a closer shot of the rears:

[sandspeed]

wow, excellent excellent brakes my friend.!

Your spicy has to be the sexiest one I've seen, great job and keep up the good work.

[II-Savy]

Looks nice.
I like the MSP with the wing but I DO like the orange window sills.

[Protege52003]

wow, looks really nice******

What kind of price would these kits be going for?

[daedalus]

noice... i still wish i would've completed my bbk upgrade... its still sitting underneath my desk at home.... *tear*

Are you still trying to sell the MSP to get an NSX? It seems like it has been a while, no one is interested in the car?

[JDM Sam]

What kind of price would these kits be going for?
List price unless there are a few buyers. Most you will get is $100 off list price depending on the # of buyers.

[daedalus]

I'm picking up an IS350 for DD action, and an NSX for racecar action... no one seems to my car so i'll either keep it and bring it back to life or trade it in on the IS350. I'm not selling the car at a loss, and since no one has any money, most likely i'll be trading it in.

Once again, KICKASS Setup! I would really love to know how the pedal feel was compared to stock and if they had a good initial bite? Linear feel? Any additional info would be great! (first)

[540James]

its a shame they dont make matching setup for the rear, looks a bit off with the big ass brakes in the front and smaller ones in the back

[Larone]

I agree. I would buy the kit if it came with matching rears. The fronts look so good and I'm sure it performs well too.

[boostpower]

santa bring me rotora for my msp (lol)

[Jaysanooch]

I know these brakes fit with my Volk rims but do they fit with the stock Racingharts? I run the racingharts in the winter so this is important....anyone?

[jmv]

its my understanding that they don't really make kits for the rears on our cars not only because of the general lack of need from a performance standpoint (obviously the front brakes are more important for overall stopping power), but also because our cars actually clamp the caliper when using the parking brake, instead of doing what most cars do with the separate small drum setup dedicated to the parking brake.

I could be wrong but thats my understanding of it.

[Concept MSP]

They should fit, the Rotora site says you need a minimum of a 17" wheel. I do not know for certain though.

[daedalus]

If anything, the stock rh's are +55 offset, and i'm assuming your volks are running +48, so there should be MORE clearance if anything.

[Hughes412]

Very nice looking kit. I wished I had gotten the ES. I want to upgrade the brakes SOOOO bad.

[Jaysanooch]

Makes sense for sure but my conserns still are the design of the racingharts...the spokes go more in. I remember this member putting on the wilwood kit and the clearance is very close. I'm still worried, maybe the Rotora calipers are chunkier??

[Maxx Mazda]

Looks great man. I wanna do that and swap my stock fronts tothe rear. I'll get some brackets made...

Nice looking car dude! I really like the clean look. Hope your happy with it.

[JoseProte83]

the 17 rims clearence is just the height. You really need to check the spoke design. That's really important. I have installed the CorkSport/Wilwood Big brake and it didn't clear the spokes of the rims. i had to buy a 1/4inc spacer and larger wheel screw(don't know the correct name of them in english) for them to fit

Ya..that's what I figured, thanks for the info!

[Mr.Ames]

so they won't fit the stock 16" rims? i was thinking of upgrading... i have 17"s for summer but i use the stock 16"s for winter. what about the bbk from protege garage? anyone tried those?

No they wont. The Caliper is just a few cntmeters of touching the inside wall of the rim.....

[Kansei]

Stock 16s will fit on the protegegarage bbk (it's just the MSP brakes basically)

[Mr.Ames]

so if i got buy msp brake parts, they will bolt right up? i have to replace a rear caliper anyway, and my front rotors are warped.

yeah protegegarage.com has the kit with everything.. it's like $800 I think for front and rear. rotors, calipers, and oem pads.

Anyone have a link to this? I can't seem to find them on their site.

[MS_Rick]

I think he meant $1800 dollars because if you find a BIG brake kit for $800 HOLLA back!!!google protegegarage.

[Maxx Mazda]

No the $800 is correct for the MSP brakes.

[Concept MSP]

I have the stock front MSP brakes for sale (rotors, calipers, lines, pads). $275 for all.

[MS_Rick]

oooo your talking about the cheap stuff I thought you were pricing
a BIG brake kit (you know willwood, stoptech etc. highend stuff)

[Maxx Mazda]

Ya, my Wilwood kit was pricey... ;)

[vinnie mack]

that is freakin horny
