Vehicle: 2001/Hyundai/Tiburon
those are almost like scalloped rotors. light as hell, but they only use them on sprint cars because they really arent meant to stop anything over a ton reliably.

Wow, cool feedback.
The car just won 1st Place Best Korean Car at SCN this weekend. Also Best Display!!
Some comments there just don’t make sense though.
A) My sponsor Boss Brakes has been testing the rotor design for three years; the massive rotors come in sizes from 14" to 26". The smallest rims they will fit in are 19's. They were designed for SUV's and DONK's so stopping power on a Tiburon is not even a question. It will rip the tire off the rim it stops so hard.
The larger surface area also means that it will almost never overheat so brake fade is eliminated.
So, yes the brakes work like stink only for my car we had them copper plated because the car is now only for show to promote my sponsors products.
B) I had to do zero modifications to the car to make the 20"s fit. No different ride than when it was on 17"s All I have to adjust the ride height are my coilovers... I did not do any cutting, nothing of the sort. They fit NO PROBLEM.
The car is not on air bags. The car is on 20" body lift. That means hydraulic cylinders drop down from the body and the entire car, wheels and all is lifted off the ground 20 inches. This was done only so I can get my car on the platform that the car travels with as a display. Car goes up, stand slides under, car lowers on to stand, locks in position, 4 wheels rotate in position, the stand is controlled by further hydraulics for extreme side to side, front up down back up and down motion. How's that for Best Display.
Ok co C) I guess. The car drives no problem, just not at high speed anymore.
I am taking the car to every show I can find out about, Montreal in 4 weeks and New Jersey soon after that.
Also the car will be at SEMA this year but that is still a while away....
I welcome any more questions. More pictures as soon as I have them. Car is in the shop at the moment for a Kicker stereo do over...
P.S.
If there are any company's on this BB who wish to promote their products/company on my vehicle please contact me at my email, pfcanada@hotmail.com
Thanks.
