just like the title says...i was interested in this rotor kit. i was also wondering if the rotor was bigger and the caliper was stock would it really make a difference in braking performance? since the caliper and brake pads stay the same size, i dont see how a larger rotor would increase brake performance? someone please enlighten me...

here is the link...

Powerslot uses crappy blanks to make their rotors out of. Also, if you can get your ABS to activate, you have plenty of braking performance, a better modification for shorter stopping distance would be tires (1st) and brake pads (2nd). If you are going for fade resistance, get some directionally vaned blanks (blank=no slots or cross-drilling) and change out your fluid for something with a higher boiling point like ATE-Super Blue or Motul RBF-600

my friends got some bigass brembo rotors for their dc5,they said they feel a difference in braking when going down a steep hill other than that idk

 

i also forgot to mention they also changed their pads also but forgot which one

 

thanks for the info guys...im thinking of picking up some ss brake lines, pads, and some brake fluid when it is time to do my brakes...big brake kits are wayy tooo expensive!!!
