A friend of mine with a 95 GSX ran a set of Porterfield pads w/ stainless lines. Kept the stock rotors & pistons. It worked fine w/ no mushyness to the pedal & stopped on a dime w/ 0 fade. Most "Big Brake" kits only have the same sweeping area as stock rotors & pads. Make sure the kit has a larger surface braking are. Get me?
