Pretty cool but he should get bigger rotors otherwise the calipers arent doing anything.

for new application and fabrication.

I think the larger heat sink ability and the higher clamping force would affect the braking of the car, plus it looks very nice.

He said he got them for $400. If you need to mortgage for that then you have issues.

VW guys are crazy with mods. He made custom brackets to make them bolt right up. I'd love to have some Ferrari brakes on my hatch haha.

The 355 is my all-time favorite Ferrari, just a timeless classic. I will own one one of these days. Hell, they're getting down in the $60k range already
