Re: Upgraded to 12 inch Brakes installed on car

I really want to do the 12 inch upgrade. Wbodystore has a kit that has dual-piston calipers (I think it's the F-body upgrade), but it costs nearly $300. I would do the JA9 upgrade, but I've heard that the 12" rotors with single piston calipers actually warp faster than the 11" rotors due to more heat being held in the rotor and the pressure of the caliper not being dispersed very evenly.
