Very nice, I've contemplated that package for a while now! Are those 20" rims, and were you running 17" before? Is the only advantage to the 2 piece design of those rotors, a weight savings? I would think that wouldn't be quite as strong as a one piece rotor, or is that wrong? Did you go with the FRPP kit, or piece meal it yourself? And finally... how noticeable is the difference in braking performance?

thanks...18 X 9.5 on a MT 305/45/18
No these are 18 rims same size I was running before. Basically, the StopTech website says "2-piece rotors allow expansion without coning. The parts are up to 8 pounds lighter than stock rotors and push up to 61% more air for better cooling and reduced fade on the track." Haven't really got on the brakes yet, waiting to break them in. FRPP kit? For what?

I thought you could get the GT500 brakes as a kit from FRPP... I'll have to look to see where I think I saw it.
Oh ya you can buy them from FRPP if you want to pay like $1400.00 bucks!!! Got mind on Ebay for $769.00 for both the rotors and calipers.

Wow! Nice deal, and actually I was looking on american muscle, where it's 2351 with one piece rotors!

The '10 Shelby wheel sure is a nice one, but after having DD, I don't know how easy it would be for me to give it up... Overall, the car is still badass! Look forward to new pics
