360 Brake
Are ordinary brake rotors ruining the view of your custom billet rims? Step up and check out the 360 Brake. Using a chrome enclosure, the 360 contains a small rotor with a full-circumference brake pad on each side. The manufacturer claims there's almost no fork dive under braking and more stopping power from the rear brake. Installation is only for the skilled or resourceful (i.e. "fat-walleted"), but 360 Brake is working with some wheel manufacturers to supply the brake as an option with new wheels. MSRP is $995 for the complete brake system. Go to www.360brake.com for information.
