As far as I go the stock brakes on most ares are suficent to stop the car in
daily driving. Using the stock brakes, adding stainless steel lines, top of
the line pads, and vented rotors. Put in some additional cooling ducts and
make sure the bias is perfect. With this the stock dia. brakes should be
more than capable of providing all the heat transfer you could want. You say
a larger rotor is a bigger heat sink. Ok it is. Compair a 12" rotor to a
11" rotor. Do you relize how little material you are adding?
Unless your doing top speed runs or have much much much muchmore hp than you
had stock there is little reason aside from show to add larger brakes.
