wheels are still not here, but we did order the Wilwood 4-piston 14.25" 2pc rotor rear kit to match the fronts. Those are also on a 2 week backorder, but they are paid for. :D

lol it will only look sweeter :), i would love to get a big brake kit for my hybrid, but i dont think they will work because of the regenerative braking. I also have done no research for the matter.

lol have u already "messed" with one and had bad results? or just heard bad things?

Nope didn't touch mine ... I had thoughts of it though, so I asked the Hybrid specialist at the dealer. He didn't go into it too much but he said to stay completely away from any component directly related to the hybrid drive. The whole thing is finely programmed to work in unison with the rest, if one thing changes it affects the rest, and will shut down the hybrid system, and the whole engine, to protect it. It's just not worth it on such a crucial element of the 2mode.

Oh and it WILL void all hybrid related elements from your 10/100k powertrain warranty.
