Default Rotor question?

i have my 17 stock rims on my tc and i was wondering if you can just upgrade the rotors to a bigger size without getting the whole bbk? if so where can i find a site to buy them on? thanks

Powerslot makes a big rotor upgrade with a caliper relocation bracket, but we do not recommend them due to the larger rotors effect on brake balance. By moving the caliper further out on the rotor, there is more leverage introduced which will move the brake bias further forward and the tC is already overbiased to the front as it is. This increased brake torque may cause issues with ABS function and increase stopping distances. Check with hahaitzskippy and Kilo6_one who I beleive both have them installed on thier cars.

i have HP F1 drilled/slotted front rotors and Power slot rear rotors
good price, great braking upgrade without replacing calipers or fitment issues

I went to their shop and I've seen their work in person. They do everything in house so the price low.

Does HP have a web site? How long have they been on? Have you checked for cracks yet?
^All the same questions for DRT?

I was cosidering these:http://www.ebcbrakes.com/Automotive.html

loOoFenixTxoOol-I'd stay away from the hack rotors on ebay. I've drilled factory rotors before and they did crack. Companies with a reputation are far less likely to peddle crap.
