About 4 to 4.5 inches? I don't have a ruler
It's an Artisan Spirits Black CF spoiler.
Looks awesome and congrats. Part of me wishes I didn’t get the 365 bbk. Still on the fence bc I’ve seen the 394mm UPP brakes in person and let’s just say it is real nutty. I wish try drop the rear matching brake rotors bc my OCD would kill me.

The MPP rear rotors are made by Girodisc though. Are you talking about the painted slots on my rear rotors?

He’s probably OCD about the top hat colors since the girodisc fronts are purple compared to the mpp blue anodized top hats

Yeah, they're slightly mismatched. As an orthodontist this would normally bug me, but matching hats get discolored over time with heat cycles anyway.
Could also paint them before installing as well.
Actually they’re blue / purple. I’m talking about UPP hats on their 394mm and non matching rears if I switched.

They are black hats, the upp calipers look familiar

Upp hats / rotors are definitely not as pretty as Girodisc. I do love the bluish / purple titanium hue. Need @jesse_le or @emotiveeng to get Girodisc to make a 380mm (or bigger) steel or CCB. That would be
.If you’re running stock rotors RN this is a no brainer upgrade.

Need to make an adapter for the calipers and we can go get a another group buy with girodisc for 394mm rotorsUpp hats / rotors are definitely not as pretty as Girodisc. Need @jesse_le or @emotiveeng to get Girodisc to make a 380mm + steel or CCB. That would be

I’m sure if someone can machine a similar adapter to other current BBK on the market that would be a hot seller.Need to make an adapter for the calipers and we can go get a another group buy with girodisc for 394mm rotors
It really sucks that only rotora has found out a way to do rear BBK with integrated EPB. It might be patented tbh bc no one else has their rear 4/6 piston caliper with it. The EPB is separate

No adapter would be possible to move the chosen CTS-V caliper 10mm. The metal would be too thin and result in failure. We ran into this problem with inexpensive but powerful Porsche calipers in the Volvo tuning community back in the day.Upp hats / rotors are definitely not as pretty as Girodisc.

Need a completely different caliper with shorter mounting tabs. I believe the newest Corvette and CTS-V calipers might be possible for that. Either that, or source 6 pot Brembo calipers with the over-the-top mounting holes like the MPP StopTech calipers.
Quick update on round 2 group buy - Girodisc is waiting for the rotor hats to come back from the anodizer. No concrete ship date, but potentially going out next week. I will keep you all posted!

Letting everybody know that I've been driving my car on the street with these brakes on stock Brembo pads, and the pedal is nice and firm. No comment on brake fade as I haven't been to the track yet, but overall I am VERY happy with the Girodisc rotors and these calipers.
Thanks @jesse_le again for setting this up.
