Default brake upgrades

Well, I got my 18's installed today. Now I've got a problem. My brakes are too tiny!

With the extra gap, my brakes look pitifully small. I don't want to drop a grand on a big brake kit, but I do want larger rotors. This has brought me to the powerslot plus (previously AEM big rotor) kit. upgrades the rotor to a slotted 12.8" rotor and comes with a caliper relocation bracket to fit on the larger rotors.

Has anyone used one of these yet?

the powerslot plus rotors (the bigger rotors, 12.8" rotor)
works GREAT

i have them with axxis ultimate brake pads. this setup for about 10k miles.

im looking into upgrading my rear brakes next,
then new brake lines, and some fresh high temp fluid...

brakes are well worth it, lot cheaper than BBK and works almsot as good imo :D

Look at Stoptech as well. They make the big brake kits for the TC and I know that they also sell the individual rotors as well. To maek things even better, they are floating rotors so you get the big brake look without the high cost. You just won't get the high heat handling abilities of the nice big brake kit.
