bigger rotors

When you change your rotors do you have to change the calipers also?

I'm sure that larger rotors mean at least modified calipers.

i dont think they make bigger rotors for the TL except the Brembo/Rotora Big Brake Kits.. they will cost you big $$$$ tho..


but going with larger rotors will definitly require some kind of modification to the caliper..

no modification to the caliper it self just a bracket to move it out further.

as for what rotors you should go with? what do you want? a big brake kit or just a replacement rotor? the big brake kit will require a larger than stock wheel. if just a replacement factory size, irotors or rotora are great rotors. and for pads i wouldnt use any thing other than EBC Green Stuff pads
