Default question about these fastbrake kits

This http://www53.ssldomain.com/fas...g1175 kit comes with 4 piston calipers and 11.75" rotors and fits 92-95 civics for $1400

This http://www53.ssldomain.com/fas...F11-4 kit comes with what appears to be the same identical thing except it has 11" rotors. and is $500 less

so are you paying $500 more for .75 more inches? or are they leaving out substantial info? thier site has a basic generic desciription for all thier stuff so I wouldnt be surprised.

im interested as well.. why spend the extra bling when you would more than likely only get a nominal gain..

but think about the amount of surface area that the extra .75 gives all around the entire brakes. surface area is the most important factor in getting a big brake upgrade, and the .75 might actually make quite a bit of difference. imho, not worth the extra 500 bucks. i would just get good pads, new drilled but NON SLOTTED rotors(will actually wear out pads faster) and good brake fluid.

Read the description, you're paying for aluminum Wilwood calipers and 2-piece rotors along with the .75"
