Anybody know the size of the front and rear stock rotors???

 

bump

 

10.8 and 10.6 I believe.

 

Awesome, thanks!

The reason I asked is because the newest consumer reports came out (april is the car edition) and it rated the 60-0 braking distance at 136 feet which is fairly unimpressive compared to it's competitors. So I was doing research and i'm seeing rotor sizes in the 11s but I didn't know what the tCs were. Upgraded pads seem like a must!

 

the last test I saw of a tC w/ stock brakes were in the high 120's area but it had Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires.

 

a stoptech stage 2 should help you out ^^

 

has this been proven? b/c in SCC mag and their project tC, I think they tried a BBK and performance between stock and BBK were very similar, they said it may be due to the EBFD.

 

uhhhhh crap. i *think* i remember seeing something somewhere. most of it is due to the pad change.

 

mmm ok... I'm sure pad change and tires would help greatly!

 

Yea, the pads and tires make the biggest difference.

I'm running toyo proxes 4s, so they definitely help some. Especially since they are the 10mm extra width - 225.

I think the deal with the BBK is that they disperse heat better (obviously for track purposes). Nevertheless, the added surface area SHOULD help stop the car a bit faster. But yea, like you said curiousfish, the tires/pads do a lot.

I'd love to get a stoptech stage 2 in all reality - brakes are definitely worth upgrading. I just simply don't have the money!
