Big and affordable rotors

[Robert]

I Don't recall, i just know i didn't care because it wasn't my car

I had a set for my Hyundai accent from a different vendor, & they lasted much much longer with no signs of rust

in order to have bigger rotors you will need a different caliper... so taking your budget into consideration, forget about it

Not necessarily. The Ericsol Supra TT brackets use the stock calipers and increase rotor size. All you need too change is the caliper bracket.

be big enough to fill the space in between an 18 in rim

Right - now I understand: bigger brakes are to make the wheels look better.

And you wonder why people laugh at you...

rewmomi, hit up trd4life, he has a really really good deal, and I can bring them down with me in 3 weeks or so when I come there next.

That's basically the only reason I had mine Big brake kits dont really do jack on the street, they are for dissipating heat and preventing fade on the track. All they do on the street is drop panties, which some could argue is just as useful...

I understand what Damon is saying, and I agree with him. Unless King, Gino, and Gave race their cars weekly on a professional/amateur circuit, having 300+ horsepower isn't enough to justify having bigger brakes.

BUT they DO look pretty damn good, there's no denying that.

wow okay one panic um ur right i do want the brake kite for better looks and also performance but last time i checked wanting your car to look good isnt ricy if you do it with class. adam i think i just pmd him and why dont u come down next week bro cp meet man lol

They dont have big brake kits. I am talking TRUE big brake kits, not CNC brackets with stock calipers.

SCC did a test of different big brake kits a couple years back and some of the stopping distances were LONGER than stock brakes. However, big brake kits could take lap after lap on the track with NO fade, where as stock brakes began to fade on the second lap.

I'm not saying you will not feel an increase in stopping with a BBK, but most likely it is in your head. If you can lock your tires up with stock brakes, you don't need more braking power- you need tires. You would need big brakes to have a consistent pedal feel with minimal fade for track days.

I'll likely be going to the dragstrip with King on the same day, lol. Plus I need to come down a week or 2 after anyway.

You can also see how going to ever larger rotors consistently reduced stopping distances

I say u save up for the bbk, or get the 1996 es300 front and rear calipers AND the relocation bracket.

[jetbtkng]

actually i havent had any break fade with my stock brakes, and ive run the 1.5 mile track, road course, and 2.5 mile road course, and i have vid to back this up, but i go through a set of pads in two events................

[bbq bob]

the bbk from Gabe has the tt rotors and the duel piston calipers from the es300.so far these are way better than the stock stuff. next week i'll be at willow springs and am going to put this setup to the test. like track tested.the stock brakes on my 99 camry just sucked.my pickup stoped way better and it has drums on the back.

You should be fine with those on the big track. When I ran the big track, I had Porsche 928 brakes (around 12") on my 944 turbo (4 piston ..two on each side). No problems...of course that car was 50/50 weight dist.
