INCORRECT.... you can not change the size of the rotor (diameter) without chaning out the capilers. For the pads, it isn't recommened to have a larger pad with a stock capiler, though an upgraded one with a different compound is good.

subuzz didn't say change the size... He implied the brakes CAN be be upgraded by installing OE SIZED, but better perfroming, rotors and pads from a reputable company, like racingbrake, rotora, etc.

INCORRECT. I upgraded my rotors. They are the same size as the OEM ones. Still used the stock calipers too. I can take a picture if you want to see.

replacing pads and rotors does not require rebleeding.

You get MOST of the stopping power from the front. Upgrading the rear is more for aestetics and visual balance.

Got mine also!

Just had the RacingBrake 2 piece front rotors installed on my ride. Thanks to Marcus at HeeltoToe for the install and break-in procedure! RacingBrake ET300 pads are also used. The RB rotors are lighter by about 2 pounds against my,38k mile driven, stock rotors . Braking is great so far, bites pretty quick!
