They are the Wilwood Dynapro. It is the 11.75" slotted rotor with the 4 piston caliper.

I'm actually in the process of trying to find a set of 15" wheels that fit.

I'll be receiving my front set of 12.2" GT Slotted Rotors with the 4 piston booted calipers hopefully tomorrow since Wilwood is about 2 hours away from where I live. Your rotors seem wider than on the Wilwood website. Tell me of your impression between the stock brakes vs the Wilwoods. Low dust compared to stock?

Well It is hard to say dust wise. I'm running the Polymatrix H pads from Wilwood. Which are a racing pad high heat, high friction. Big mess, tons of dust. But they handle the load that i'm putting on them with minimal brake fade. The standard pads that came with the kit were fine for street. Quiet and not too much dust, but I wouldn't say much less then stock.

The Rotors are only .81" wide. I waited 6 months for a custom set of calipers and rotors that were 1.25" wide but had to give up as racing season was approaching and I needed something better than stock. So I went to the Wilwood's. So far I'm very happy!

Another step in the blackout direction. Installed the Outmotoring vinyl belittling blackout. Next will be door handle covers when they are back in stock.

Its a gp2 copy called a G wing from a guy over here in the uk
Fitted with a cooper diesel roof spoiler which is the largest one available to fill the gap, other's run normal cooper or one spoilers, or even none at all and just the G wing.
