GALFER WAVES 320mm FOR THE 14
Galfer no longer makes OEM sized rotors for the 14 anymore. They are now 320mm and cost an extra $60.00+ for the spacer kit that MUST be used to accomodate these rotors. The upside is these rotors should give a substantial bump in the performance of already great brakes. Problem is, they're gonna hide even more on the BST Carbon wheel! Hopefully I'll pull another pound or two off the front wheel with them.
I'll post pics & review when they're on the 14.

I can and do brake with one finger with the stockers. I see no reason for more power. (Trust me, I know).  Most people with fading issues should try replacing the brake fluid first. At least once a year. Brake fluid is extremely hydroscopic and can really make a big difference with a fresh bleed and fill.

You're just not going fast enough! lol.... It's not just a braking improvement, although I'm always up for better brakes. I'm currently on a weight loss program. 2lbs would be nice to come off unsprung. Just for the record, I've not had the brakes fade on me. I'm not doin track days on this one.

If I do anything to the brakes it'll be losing the squishing rubber tubing for steel lines.
