From looking at you pics, those caltracs are at a pretty good angle... they seem to work best parallel or as close to parallel to the ground as possible

Sorry the rotors are actually power slot brand. I paid 115 each with free shipping from SummitRacing. However my pads are the wrong damn ones, they fit the 4door, not 2 door. I'll post pictures tonight, I miss the big rotor look already, but no chance of fitting those and Bogarts. These are 12" instead of the Baer 14".

Hydroboost would give you back that big brake feel if you have not done that mod. ITS GREAT.

New brakes are on. Might later add the hydro conversion , they stop well but well see when I try stopping with the boat again. Here's the pictures, the old rotors were 20 pounds each, new ones are 18. Also weighted the 20's and my drag/slick setup. Really excited about the bogarts! Was told two weeks on build time. Here's the pictures.


Old:



New:



Current 20's ran at track:



Rears:



Also, Great Video for anyone trying to get damn rotors off that have been installed for 100k.
