But in a correct caliper rotor combination you would be ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY CORRECT!
Not to completely beat this into the ground, but I'm not affraid of doing math. 3mm of overhang in the first pic versus the 20-30mm the caliper has been moved out. 3mm versus the ~50mm of pad. I can tell you right now without touching the calculator that this setup has more swept area by FAR than a stock setup. The second pic, yeah that's just slop and doesn't go into the equation.
Are these the 350z brembo rotors or the Cobra rotors?
