hey guys,
i remember a while ago i read on a website that this company takes the stock calipers and mounts them on a 13" rotor forming a custom big brake kit for a lot cheaper. i forgot the company, it might have been z1motorsports. i dont really have time to search for it. is it possible to just purchase bigger rotors and still use your stock calipers with better pads and lines and get betteer braking performance? is there a company that makes larger rotors but keeps the same stock width?

they are working great! i still really haven't felt much fade at all. if you are just going to get stock slotted rotors, i recommend this kit http://conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=309&Car_Type=300&UID=2004082619465869.76.137.188, i spend $300 dollars on just front slotted rotors and pads, and this kit is just $150 more and has front and rear slotted rotors, front and rear pads, and stainless steel brake lines, just for $150 more. wish i found this kit before i bought my brakes. then i could have rear slotted rotors and stainless steel brake lines. oh, and the kit also comes with ATE super blue brake fluid.

I found a nice kit on e-bay for $360 with shipping.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7912414499
I just installed them on today, so I dont know how great they are, but they where cheap, and he has great feedback.
I think the rotors are brembo, and the kit freak on a leash posted looks about the same.
