Yeah, I got my Rotora's before realizing that they were just knock offs (I was new and dumb enough to buy from a certain, un-named rx7 vendor/store, they looked like Brembo's and specific brand names weren't mentioned).

I must say that I'm not entirely impressed by my brake kit, and will probably be getting different ones in the future.

Putting on rear set would make big difference.
They should be fine unless you do extreme track racing.

Sorry for bringing this dead thread back alive...

But I´m at the moment on checking wich BBK I´m going to buy.

About my Setup:
8"x 17" Advan Model6LM wheels (not the best looking but only 7kg heavy)
ZEAL suspension

There are three BBK options left.

TAROX:
- great quality
- middle price (2000€)
- 6pot brake
- axial sealing instead of simple dust protection (PERFECT)
- only 318mm brake disc

JBT:
- quality... more or less unknown.. seems to be good.
- lower price (1800€)
- 4pot Brake
- dust protection unknown
- 330mm brake disc
- STREETLEGAL IN GERMANY!!!!!!!!!!

AP-Racing
- quality... we all know that it´s great
- most expensive (2500€)
- 6pot brake
- dust protection (YES)
- 330mm brake discs


everything else is a cheap knockoff or way to expensive!

what do you guys think
