13.3" rotors...
I know they rims are dirty.. they're also bent... they're another set of "beater rims" until I have the ***** to buy new ones (i.e. the wife lets me spend money not required to keep the car running!)
GJohnson, I'm in tulsa for about 3 more weeks (woah!!!!) we're moving about the first week of Aug.
mtcookson, the whole setup was $$$, but the rotors themselves were "only" $235. if I were to build everything over again, I would highly recommend just buying the fastbrakes kit and being done with it. it's slowly what I'm going to afrer years of trial and error on buying the wrong parts for the car..

precision brakes makes one with 13" rotors starting at around $1000, but to get to the 2-piece guys you'll have to spend quite a bit more than that.
As for what I've got invested in mine, it would have been easier to just buy one of the kits from fastbrakes or precision brakes.
As for parts, I've got about $850 in it right now, just for the fronts.
calipers are $130 each, rotors are $135 each, hats are $100 each, pads are $50/set and steel lines are $50 for a pair.
that will just barely get you moving. you then have to make the brackets yourself and other such fun stuff. minimum required to make the brackets is a drill press and plasma cutter/cutting torch. not something most people have just lying around.

on a 2-piece rotor, there's the hat that mounts onto the wheel hub, then the rotor itself.

hats on top, rotors on bottom.
