[QUOTE="EricM, post: 1415933, member: 20286"] Unless the rotors are a bigger diameter, I don't think you are going to gain a whole lot of braking performance. The mechanical advantage of a larger moment arm far exceeds anything you might gain with a "same diameter" kit like a stiffer caliper, or more pad area in contact with the rotor. It will be better, but not massively so. If it's a larger diameter rotor BBK (ie [I]actually[/I] a BIG brake kit) though, you'll notice the difference immediately. A kit with a larger diameter rotor will stop better, have a better pedal feel, and be more easily modulated under heavy braking. [/QUOTE]
