did you Upgrade to Big Brake Kit?

[logicmobile]

anyone did for 03-05 sedans , and how do you like it so far...thinking about it, coz i switch to stop tech Piece of $#it cross drilled rotors and not even a month warp on me, i dont do track but i have a little bit heavy foot on pedal..not thinking moving up for serious brake components , also what is the PRO's and CONs about Big Brake kits?? thank you in Advance...

Pros and cons have been discussed numerous times.

If you don't track your car, there's no point. Hell, there's really no point in slotted/drilled rotors for you either.

yes i know that its not ideal to spend money for brake if not used in racing or track but my point is if i kept wapring my rotor due to excessive hard braking then i guess big brake kit would be the answer...just a thought...

Did you have the machined before you put them on? Sometimes, they get warped during shipping.

Also, make sure they properly torque your wheels.

You shouldn't have the problem, during regular driving.

Maybe you just need to learn to drive...

there is a liitle bit of posibilities of getting warp during shipping , but i was fine when we put them on , after couple of days i dont know,, but i dont think your being nice to say that i need to learn how to drive, i was asking waht could be the reason... dont reply no more if you are just going to say that offend the person..

[JeromeS13]

You're the one that said you have a "heavy foot on pedal".

It could seriously be your driving style. If you're constantly gas, brake, gas, brake, you could be causing excessive heat build up...

And, if that offended you, you need to grow some skin...

i know i did mention that , but atleast say it in a nice way, this forum built to help each other , but anyway thanx for responses...

Seriously? What are you, a 15 year old girl? I hate to tell you, but the world is not a nice place. You asked questions, I gave you answers. Period.

BBKs are more of a show off thing IMO... But I like to think that better stopping power is always better and safer. Why not get the Akebono G37 BBK? I've seen those on the 07 sedan and it looks

[logicmobile]

sound good to me...im actually lookin at wilwood 13.1 inch rotor with 4 pot caliper for 1900 anyway im still thinkin about it, thanx for the response

First, you need to question whether you really are warping rotors. You can get the same symptoms by having uneven brake pad material on the rotors. Sometimes you can clean it up by doing a series of 6 or 8 VERY hard stops (from 60MPH to 15MPH) in rapid succession.

Try a new brake pad compound too. That might solve it. Dealers will diagnose warped rotors because it's an easy fix (for them).

Basically, unless you're racing, a BBK is for looks.

Not sure about 03-05 sedans, but i haven't had any problems with their BBK on my 07. My rotors are only slotted, not cross drilled.

Just curious, are you using 2 piece rotors with new calipers or 1 piece rotor with stock calipers? Did you bed-in the rotors and pads?

I have never heard of rotors getting warped during shipping.
