Default Fastbrakes 11'' rotor for brake swaps

I'm just wondering if anyone's run these before

I'm about to swap out my front brakes for NSX calipers and I obviously need new rotors too. I know I can just buy regular rotors and redrill but I was wondering if anyone had some positive buzz on these.

I'll actually be doing that exact swap this weekend.
These are the rotors fastbrakes recommends for our applications

You still need to shave a little off of the NSX bracket. Ask them for the instructions on how to do it and they should include it in the box.

Are those the regular ones or the cryo frozen ones?

Eiether way it doesn't matter, they are drilled for both 4 and 5 lug applications.

For the eg it's smarter to get the full kit with the 11.75 fronts and the 10.9 rears for about $1000. NSX swaps are nice but a waste of money IMHO

I'd just stick with a front brake kit, you aren't going to need that much rear braking unless you get a different prop valve and bias the rear more.

They're made to balance one another. You don't NEED to have them but if you want to do it right you'll buy them.

I have an EK.

The NSX swap will be far less than $1000 so how is that a waste of money? I got the front calipers for $180. The rotors will be $120. It will probably be $250 to get the rear disc swap stuff then another $300 to match the NSX stuff.

Edit: well not far less but cheaper. The swap most sell is around $1300 for the Ek because my car doesn't come with rear disc.
