[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 15986416, member: 6247"] This was a very early version of the Steeda kit. The rotors came from Steeda with the kit. You are wrong that this kit will not help you stop better. This kit will ABSOLUTELY help you stop better and faster because you are stepping up the rear braking leverage from a 11.8" diameter rotor to a 13" diameter rotor. If you remember your physics class, the bigger the lever the greater the force. You are correct that is has more capacity to soak up kinetic energy and the braking area of the pad is unchanged and that is the beauty of this kit. You get to keep your pad stock and your emergency brake and there's no need for a new brake line or caliper. I originally bought this kit to put on my 2007 Shelby GT 500 because the rear brakes were so grossly undersized and the brakes were very unbalanced on track. I decided I did not want to take the rear end apart just to install this kit so I ended up designing my own kit that bolts on without taking the axle apart. [ATTACH=full]1510270[/ATTACH] The rotors are 1.5# lighter than the 11.8" OEM rotors or 3# total weight savings for the pair. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. [/QUOTE]
