I wonder how much great the stopping ability does that car has more than say.....12 in rotors??

I would kind think that is almost overkill??

the stock fronts are like 13", arent they? I mean, come on, if he's unsatisfied with 13" brakes, he can't be satisfied with the size of something else.

What a waste of money, unless heat is an issue for track or mountain driving, extra huge brakes make almost no difference, in fact the extra unsprung weight from the wheels and the rotors probably makes the car slower and handles poorer
