doh.....I read pads....it was rotors....
haaa. Aem's big break upgrade is pretty good dollar per dollar. But if you are going for more than just looks you should get at least some 4 pots. Maybe look into willwood or stoptech. MPJ I think still has some stoptech's on hand.
As for me...since I don't spend insane amounts of time at the track these days it's likely I'll go the DBA/ss lines/pads route. Improves breaking about as much as the AEM's. Cost less and is a snap install.

Finally got a pic of the rotor. It's a pic of the right back wheel.

All the descriptions ever say on the AEM rotor is that they are about 20% larger then stock. So you have to figure that they would be btw. 12.5 and 12.9 size rotors.
They do help over stock but it is usually just a better idea to just go with a complete Big Brake kit upgrade and be done with it. They come complete with everything you need and you don't have to mix and match it.
Stoptech makes one of the best BBKs around!! I can help you out with any of your Brake needs with Stoptech as I am a distributor of them!
Let me know if I can help!
