Thread: 12 rotor up grade

ok so i found by using oldsmobile intrigue parts ( they made a model with 12" rotors standard) that i can up grade my rotors to 12 inch.for 150$ as opposed to zzp's 250$ will i see a big difference just from the rotor size i dont want to spend the dough to get f-body calipers and i just want to make sure if im gonna pony up the dough im gonna feel a big stopping difference..should i use semi mettalic or ceramic pads too?

the 12' upgrade makes a huge difference, you are gaining leverage by moving the caliper away from the center if the wheel..... you will notice it for sure

i have this same issue.. i need brakes and i wanted the fbody calipers but its so much money. i might just have to get 12 inch rotors

i got my 12" rotor setup (calipers, rotors, and pads) for under $100. i was happy.

it really fills out the front wheels too. stopping is awesome with them compared to stock.

how did you get it that cheap?

got the rotors and caliper brackets for like $50 shipped used (ever so slightly) and then some nice EBC green pads for cheap too.

My car came stock with 12" and I have never been unhappy with its stopping power. You will be pleased.

alright cool i found the whole setup with duralast cmax ceramics for like 110$ shipped on rockauto...should i run ceramics or semi metallics what are you guys running

i have semi-metallic only due to the fact powerslot recommends them. They stop nice
