buy my dba rotors instead! much cheap! much fast!
pads are the same yes. pistons are the same too. as far as i can tell most of the benefit seems to come strictly from being a larger rotor, which is odd - you'd think the heat sink would be the benefit sure, but not the actual clamping force

My 18x9.5 +35 wheels rubbed the stock trailing arm.

My 17x9.5 +38 did too but those self clearanced so it was fine. My 18x10.5 +30 were fine until I put on my 295 hoosiers and then they rubbed while cornering.
If he's only planning on running a 265 I think he'd be able to get away with something with a slightly lower offset that'll clear the rear trailing arm. Just seems like an unnecessary expense running a fairly skinny tire.

did you guys also notice cooler braking temps? obviously it's a much larger heat sink etc. so i'm still getting the RB vented pistons & high temp seals, but considering maybe adding ducting as well. i've got the binary eng ducts, never installed. i'm usually autoxing though, will do a few hpde's but i'm low power (~300whp) and no aero or anything

Is it weird that I like the smell of fresh gear oil?
Used ATF makes me wanna puke though..

^Lol yes very strange! Gear oil is the worst! Although, its not really the smell I just friggin hate it and no matter how careful I try to be I always end up wearing it.
Best smelling fluids are gas(duh!) and Kroil which smells like Coca Cola.
