What are some options for putting larger rotors on the rear of our cars?
The stock rotor looks really small with the 19" Brembo rims.

I don't want to spend a lot of $$$ and buy a big brake kit. I just want to move the caliper and swap out the stock rotor for a larger one if possible.

Is the stock rear caliper capable of handling a larger rotor?

 

check out Baer brakes.

 

Steeda 13" one probably the best option for cheap replacement rotor, but requires removing the axles. I don't think the Baer do, but are quite pricey.

 

I'm taking my stock brakes to Deals Gap soon. I'll let you know how they perform. On the street including spirited driving ; I couldn't ask for better brakes.

 

Can I ask why you're looking for bigger rears? Simply a looks thing?

 

Primarily a looks thing.

 

Baer. They're basically purely for looks, no one does them for the track.

 

The Baers do look good ...especially with four pot calipers on all four wheels.

 

Thanks for the ideas guys

 

I recommend the Steeda kit. Uses DBA made rotors, comes with everything you need and fits more wheels than 14" rear kits (which is just overkill and costs more too). Remember the rear of the car is the lighter end and brake dive makes the fronts work harder too. This car can use more rear brake than most pony type cars since the front to rear balance is less nose-heavy... but there is a limit. http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...204&ModelID=35

 

Yeah, but doesn't putting those heavy 14" on the rear reduce brake dive??

 

Sam how would the DBA 4000 series rotors do with daily driving?
