Rotational mass

yea, thats true, there will be more rotational mass, however the increased leverage outweighs the detrimental effects of the increased rotor size.

honestly the only real noticeable difference i felt when i upgraded to brembos and steel lines was the zero fade.

I know you'll need to relocate the caliper to accomodate the larger rotor, but going back to my original question does any company make a kit that will allow you to do so? This has noting to do with pad size. Same concept as adding a BBK to any oem vechile that doesn't have one. The OEM Brembo calipers will be sufficient to what i need them for, i basically want a larger rotor to fill in gap, no need to spend 3k+ just for that. I have a front bbk set of 14" wilwood rotors and wilwood 4 Pot Calipers, but would like to keep using my brembos because of the rear set-up.

I saw a shop in Japan sell a 15" 2 pcs rotor and adpt. to let you use the stock Bermbo.

Since this is an oem brembo question thread:

I installed my rear calipers and snapped the bolt that hold the brake line into the caliper...

My question is can I cut the stock non brembo bolt to the size of the other bolt and make it work?
