RL 355x28mm brakes on stock calipers

Hi all. We have been developing a big rotor kit since i bought the legend and after fitting 20" wheels, the original brakes looked tiny. This kit utilizes the stock caliper, lines and pads and requires minimal modification to the caliper make fit. We will make these as and when people request them so if you are interested, please pm me.

Brakes are on. spent most the day yesterday doing more measurements and fitting, removing, re-measuring and re fitting and after some light caliper work, we got them on and working brilliantly. Obviously they aren't bedded in properly yet as only done 100 miles on them but already they are working very well. We used oem Honda Ferodo pads too and can't believe the difference. Here are the pics. Enjoy.

Modification to calipers. also had to bend dust shield at the bottom slightly.

it looks better but how exactly is a bigger rotor going to be better without a bigger brake pad imprint

also, wouldn't bigger rotors weigh more?

^Torque. Torque =F*r

The farther you are from the axis, the more rotational force is generated.
