Larger discs are always the best bang for the buck for improved brake torque. So everyone needs a big brake kit!

Why?

More leverage from a larger diameter/radius.
More mass for improved thermal capacity.
Lower rotor operating temps and improved cooling.
Longer wear.
No change to piston area thus no pedal modulation change- a bit less pedal effort required.

Will this shift some brake bias to the larger disc? Yup. Is that bad? Depends on how much and other variables however a modest change up front won't have huge detrimental effects. And it's where most cars need it the most? What do you do to counter that? Higher Cf rear pads or a larger rear rotor also.

While we're on the subject;

Is this a good package for $775?


BRAND NEW FRONT & REAR BRAKE PACKAGE

FITS 2005 - 2014 FORD MUSTANG GT 4.6L 5.0L VEHICLES

INCLUDES:
- HAWK HPS STREET PERFORMANCE FRONT & REAR BRAKE PADS
- M-SPORT DRILLED & SLOTTED FRONT & REAR ROTORS

ALL ITEMS ARE BRAND NEW IN ORIGINAL PACKAGING

M-SPORT BRAKE ROTORS:

Msport Cross Drilled and Slotted OE replacement high performance rotors provide superior stopping power for street and light track use. Each rotor is engineered to perfectly fit all applications without any need for modifications to your braking system.

Engineered and produced in Canada, Msport selects only the highest quality premium gray cast iron rotors produced at ISO 9001-2008 certified foundries. Each rotor design is analyzed thoroughly in order to determine the most effective placement for the cross drilling and slotting. This is extremely important so that the maximum benefits of venting super heated gases and maintaining a clean pad surface are achieved, while at the same time maintaining the structural integrity of the rotor. Msport rotors resist cracking and warping, ensuring long rotor and pad life.

That seems really expensive for just pads and rotors.

That's all I wanted to know.
Again, I have no idea what's good or bad or worthwhile.
All I know is, I'm going to upgrade to a better fluid, stainless steel brake lines, and maybe Hawk pads.
The rotors are optional and further down the road.

Check Rehagen Racing and Roush. They both sell takeoff 13.2" GT rotors and the 4-piston Brembos, usually less than the other vendor prices. I'd still do the 13.2" GT rotors, if only just for looks. They fill the wheels enough to where I don't really mind them.
