[QUOTE="01yellercobra, post: 15786566, member: 35549"] My understanding of the big brakes is that it helps keep fade at bay. The larger rotor and caliper has more surface area to dissipate heat faster. A stock 13" rotor with the right brake pad can stop a car pretty quick. It just won't do it as many times as a bigger set up before needing to cool down. FWIW, I had the stock calipers on my 01 with Hawk pads and it stopped that car pretty damn fast. And that car was making about the same power as the big blower guys on here. But that car never went around a track. Just some spirited driving. Misspelling brought to you by Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
