Big rotors with oem brembo's
 
I searched but didn't see any recent posts on this specifically. Is there a KIT on the market that will allow a larger sized rotor than the stock Brembo's using the same calipers?

If this has been discussed recently a link to the thread would be appreciated.

Thanks

I've been researching this too. From what I got it requires adapters to move the calipers. They don't seem to exist. And secondly the different diameter would cause uneven wear on the pads. Hopefully someone knows a way.

This kit is something I have been looking into lately, If I can't find a good deal on aftermarket bbk.

Not sure what you are trying to attain? Friction surface will be the same. 13, 14, or 15 inch rotors.

I was looking for aesthetic reasons I upgraded my wheels size and my oem bremebos look small.

but braking torque will increase...

to the op...the only way to do it is to get an adapter made to relocate the caliper...or buy a bigger brake kit...

why is additional braking torque necessary? Its already beyond easy to get the brakes to lock up and activate the ABS. Additonal brake torque just means less pedal modulation before lockup making braking control more difficult

I never said additional braking torque is necessary. I quoted davidv...and the scenario he provided...

Endless sells 6 piston calipers that use stock Brembo rotors.

there is for the non-brembos but not for the brembo.

Thanks for the info.
