[QUOTE="JAJ, post: 16447691, member: 131874"] They're full-sized 394x36 rotors. The 380's require either machining the knuckle to use the OEM caliper or it requires a switch to RB calipers. I have no reason to believe that the 380's wouldn't work fine, but check with RB to see what they say. I believe that the RB caliper/380 rotor option was developed as a full-race application, but you'd best confirm that with them. What I really like about the brake performance is that it's consistent from cold to hot and fade-free. The latter depends on the pads, of course. RB has a "streetable" sintered metal pad that has really high bite and is absolutely unfadeable. I love the braking but the pads get a bit noisy after a couple of days on the street, so I normally run with Pagid RSL29's (that Pagid says are good for carbon ceramic brakes). They have less bite than the sintered pads, but otherwise a flat curve and they're an install-and-forget option - good for street or track. And, as I said earlier, pad wear is surprisingly low. The ceramic rotor is super-hard, like a dinner plate, and it wears extremely slowly (as you can see in the picture) with the side-effect of not grinding the pad material down very fast either.
