Default OEM rear disc vs 11" rear disc.........what do ya think???

Ok well im going to be ordering new brakes, which will include a rear disc conversion.

I have two options. One is the conventional OEM rear swap, and the other is a 11" kit that should bolt right up.

Now, price difference will be roughly 100-150 due to the shipping cost of the OEM rear swap.

What do you guys think. Will the 11" give me any more balance/keep the car more neutral during braking??

Any advice.comments/concerns are welcome.

FYI...car is a 92 dx hatch that will be used for HPDE/track days..........TIA

Mike

Bigger rotor disperses heat a little better and never hurts to have more then what you need. Only hurts if they are not big enough.

i was thinking the same thing. However, im going to stick with a SOHC(most likely) so i wont have a lot of power. Still a good point.
