Big brake kit

Does any one have pictures of any big brake kit on a stock 2002 TLs rims. I want to upgrade my brakes with out changing the rims, I need to save money for the SC kit some day.

That looks very nice, Can you please answer 2 questions for me.
1. Is that stock TLs rims( I guess 2002 and 2003 are the same size) ?
2. Is that just 1 5mm spacer or did you have to change something.

Thanx

1. Yes they are stock TL-S rims.
2. 5mm H&R spacer with stock studs and nuts on both side.

It means I am still using the factory studs and lock nuts with the spacer on, brake feel much better than stock plus you got a stiffer padel feel also, one thing I can't for sure about stop on a dime; because I still trying to break in the pads but I did some sharp braking during heavy traffic days before, I was like :wow:
you know what I mean.

What do you mean by "big brake kit? A 12in to 12.4 inch should fit with the mentioned spacers to clear the caliper. A 13in kit needs an 18in wheel. What is the size of the Rotora pictured above? Whatever you are contemplating, spoke clearance of the caliper is critical.
