If you've never done it, flush and bleed your brake system. Use new, high quality DOT 4 fluid (NOT SYNTHETIC DOT 5!!!) and you won't believe the difference. The stock 6th gen brakes are really quite good unless your on a track where you really get them hot (we commonly see brake temps from 1400-1600 deg F on some of the tracks we run, you'll never get above about 700 F on the street).
A big brake kit is possible. I'm thinking about prototyping and eventually marketing one. Upgrading the rotor size without upgrading the calipers is pointless so I would sell the complete kit. Rotors, pads, calipers, caliper brackets, and braided stainless lines. I think I could come up with something that would be comparable in price to other big brake kits. |
