Default biggest brake kit!!

Whats the biggest size Brake kit out right now for our cars?? I got 19inch Volks so i can fit them.. I think it looks so bad *** when the brake kit is takes up all the space inside the rim..

so any ideas on the biggest kit?

14" kit with 355mm disc size would fill it all up.

now if you want 380mm, expect to pay $2900 for front only.

You want to brag (or need serious breaking power)? How about 385mm two piece discs with 8-pot calipers for the front (and 6-pots for the rear to balance it)?

Well, I have AP Racing's 6 pot front / 4 pot rear with 14.25" front / 13” rear two piece rotors and I can definitely say it stops well…
But caliper clearance is pretty tight in the back…

I tend to agree ... but seriously, with 20+ inch wheels you need larger brakes to get back to stock braking distances in the first line. Of course 385mm/8pots is a step further than this.

Here's how they look with 19" rims (and 15mm spacers)

That 15" Rotora kit is sick, but I wonder why they don't have a 6 pot rear kit to balance the front out...

Rotora billet aluminum alloy 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12-piston racing calipers with sequentially sized piston bore sizes engineered to each specific vehicle
Looks like they do have them, I guess...

Rotora doesn't have 6 pistons for rear yet. They do have 355mm rotor for rear.
