    Has anyone installed the MOV'IT rotors on their 458?
    If you have, could answer those questions:
    What sizes did you buy?
    What pads have used with them and which one would you recommend?
    Do you like them?
    How's the wear of the rotors?

    I want to change my rotors since the OEM wears too quickly on the track.
    MOV'IT seems like the best option out there; RacingBrakes looks interesting too but I think MOV'IT will deliver more stopping power.

    Thanks

    I understand why there was no answer to this thread: no one has those brakes on a 458 since those brakes just won't fit the 458.
    I have contact both MovIt US and Germany and they at first both told me that they had rotors for the 458 and that the sizes would be:

    398x36mm for the front
    380x34mm for the rear

    I challenge the fact that the rear would fit since the OEM are 360mm in the rear and I was assured that they would.
    I then sent a picture of the space left between the OEM rotors and the calipers which is clearly not large enough to accommodate larger rotors. Once they looked at the picture they admitted that it wouldn't work!
    I am happy I didn't order!

    => No MotIt brakes available for the 458; that's a shame since they looked really good.

    If you are looking for alternative to OEM rotors; beware those won't fit.
