Re: bigger front disk brakes??? (nek9)
If you plan on auto crossing your car or tracking it, then when you put a big brake kit in, normally, they come with bigger calipers.
Thats pretty much your only option when it comes to brakes. Youll need a bigger set of rims too if you havent already gotten 16's or 17's.
Look around though, Im sure there are options out there. What kind of car?

what are you talking about? he has tons of options. like switching to 99-00 si, 94-01 integra or JDM EG6/EK4 brakes. or, to be even bigger, ITR or CTR brakes. bigger? ITR or CTR brakes with NSX/legend calipers/rotors way better option then a BBK and fraction of the cost at times. the most important part of a brake set-up, the upgrade that will make the MOST diffrence is the brake pads...get metal masters FTW. and just brembo blanks will work. dont bother with drilled/slotted rotors, they are worse then blanks.

Re: bigger front disk brakes??? (nek9)
with bigger discs you will need either bigger calipers or a new caliper bracket. but its dumb to use the same caliper because you will have the same contact surface as before.
