I was looking around and came across this Big Break Kit by power slot that uses your stock Caliper. Its a lot cheaper than other big break kits what do you guys think?

Part of the reason for getting a BBK is to also get better calipers (more pistons). So I think this would probably be pretty useless. If this is all someone is looking to do, you could easily just get a set of drilled and slotted rotors only. Probably quite a bit cheaper than what these people want.

 

Larger rotors won't give you additional braking force. They WILL however allow you to slow the car down faster beacuse the increased diameter allows you to use the force your stock calipers provide more effectively.

I have used powerslots of a larger diameter on several vehicles (much bigger and heavier than the tC) and have always been impressed with the result.

 

I've seen it installed and the new rotor is nice and thick. True you should get a larger contact patch caliper, but upgrading brake pads with the new rotor should do nicely for the tC.

 

wont the black finish start to wear off?

 

Yea I was thinking that too?

 

Chris, the tC I was speaking of was at Tracy Toyota last sunday.

 

Yea I think I saw it but didn’t pay attention "the SW one?". I just noticed he had the red painted stock calipers and black rotors. Didn’t think it was a big break kit because of the calipers. Should of taken a closer look.
