Rotora big brake kit

I just ordered this kit for the xB. Just curious if anyone else is running it and any positive or negative feedback on it... Thanks

It would just be for the front. It would not do much good to run a rotor on the rear any larger then 10", 11" max. Just adds more weight then. Not to many places have a rear drum to disc conversion any ways.

Dang, so you need a 18" wheel to clear that kit? Most 13" kits, need at least 18" wheels to clear. So you got some 18"s & are you fully sure they will clear the cailiper & stuff?

i thought they produced these to be used with stock wheels. If what you say is true, dam i have to get change my rim, which isn't going to happen.

Took a full look, they need 17" Wheels to clear. If Rotora makes a kit for the tC, then the stock wheels will work, but with his car being a xB, he needs more then his 15" stock wheels.
