2" drop might be a little problem with a wheel that size

you can install 5mm spacers if you want to. just a thought.
bigger brake rotors will slow down your car a bit during acceleration. more rotational mass.
but that's up to you.

I'd suggest Stoptech calipers/rotors with some really good street/track pads,
motul brake fluid, and goodrich ss brakelines.

read up on brakes....

some good articles....

Most of the guys on here will tell you to use 15's and why they are so much better anyway. Not that I am disagreeing, I use 14's at the track.

i have 15 all around with a gsr brake conversion, gsr master cylinder/booster/proportioning valve, powerslot rotors, metal master pads, goodridge ss lines, and ate superblue, never had the car running yet, but i thought maybe i could use a 12 inch plus size rotor upfront with an upgraded caliper esp. for hi speed track events. i like the 15s now for decreased weight, i am going to readup on the stoptech stuff, maybe look at wilwoodkits

yoda is god, i agree,

thanks for those web site, great, i feel much better informed, now question what do you think about a harness attached to a rear strut bar for autocross, i plan on getting a roll cage however i thought it would be ok to use the harness for autocross only.
