I am looking at either the (Front) 12 inch rotor kit that uses the stock calipers

or the 11 inch 4 piston kit (front)

I currently have no rear brakes (but I am not going to be driving the car until summer since I dont need the car at school) so I am also waiting for their rear upgrade which uses the stock caliper and larger rotors so the parking brake can still be used

get the 11 inch kit with calipers by far, just getting bigger rotors will do nothing

I am leaning toward that one myself.

Nice!! the rear brake setup will be a good alternative to the 400$ silk road one that rare trick sells. I wanted to try it to see if i can get more leverage out of my hydro handbrake

it looks like the one on Rare Trick doesnt even come with calipers, or maybe i am not reading it right

both kits are just bigger rotors and brackets to reposition the calipers if i'm not mistaken

I'm thinking about and will most likely get the 11 inch rotor/4 piston kit. If I do so, would I have to upgrade my master cylinder?
