The same caliper and pad on a larger diameter disc will provide more brake torque. That's mainly why big diameter discs are used. More surface area to dissipate heat is a nice side benefit.
yes but the added piston count allows for higher and more even clamping forces over stock even with the marginally smaller rotor 347mm for the alcons and 350mm for the stock brakes.
Yeh i wasnt surprised the discs are similar or somewhat smaller, but the price is equivalent to big kits that come with 15 inch discs and 6 pistons

designed to fit within the constraints of a stock 17" wheel where as those are designed to fit under a 19" or 20" wheel

For those that care.... Brembo owns AP Racing.. same umbrella company :D

Both share technology between them, AP racing is actually more used in race applications than Brembo.

Anyone running this kit? I'm looking into it and just discovered it also requires the ADD tie-rod adapter. I'm a little concerned about how well that will hold up for a daily driver through northeast winters.

Also wish it had 2-piece rotors...

For anyone on the fence.... you’re not going to find a better offering than what Nick has going right now!

I’ll report back after I do the installation.

Thanks again Nick!
