Message	I recently purchased the R33-GTR brake upgrade kit from kZtt, Zedparts.com, and seeing as how we both live in Austin, TX we got together this last weekend and installed the kit. First I have to say thanks to the guys that helped out this weekend: Christopher Casias (Christopher) for turning a few wrenches and taking the pictures. Rodel Bautista (rodelb)for providing the much needed garage and tools. And last but not least, Aikmeng Kuah (kZtt) for providing the kit and for doing more of the work than I did. The stopping differences are so drastic that the first few times I went to make a quick stop I thought I was going to get whiplash. Or at the very least, headbut the steering wheel. Here is the stock rotor next to the new A'PEXi rotor: Here is a picture of the finished product behind my 18" ADR Enigma's: If you want to see all of the pics from the day, or if these don't load up go to this link: R33 GTR Brake Install So, which Formula 1 Car are you most like?
