Gain Of 12hp 7 tq. Just by a rotor swap.

Do they say the rotational weight you x4.

Example 10lbs= 40lbs rotational weight

I always hated the stock brakes on my 2G, but I never tried anything but the old-style EBC Red pads that came with it...nice little upgrade though...not a ton of weight increase over the 'big' dsm brakes...can you get 'good' brake pads that fit this application?

I believe you continue to use the stock style pads for the bigger 2 piston caliper... so availability will be good.

While getting 12hp from brakes is nice, that isn't all that much on a ~400hp and the reason to upgrade brakes is NOT for horsepower, IMO. A loss of 12hp ain't much when you can stop a whole lot faster (though, I realize in that link he was in fact upgrading is stopping power, just saying)

Rotational weight makes a huge difference, even on a heavy car. I swapped out the factory 17's for factory 20's on my Tahoe and I noticed the difference in acceleration and braking immdiately. I'm willing to make the sacrifice for looks on that beast though. :)

Yeah I was gonna put rims on my Aviator but then heard its super hard on the tranny cause of the extra power it takes to turn them. It blew up before I could try it out though. LOL. But yeah SUVs deserve "BALLER" rims
