ROAD/RACE Ralliart BIG ROTOR KIT
OK, maybe I'm a tard, but if we keep the same stock calipers, how does this make me stop faster? Is it a combo of the better pads + larger rotor? I must be missing something.
I'm just trying to decide to go with new same size slotted rotors + pad, or this kit. HELP!!!

it's all physics
do you ever use a "breaker bar"?
if you have a pivot, the longer away from the pivot point you are, the more torque is generated at the pivot point
so by positioning the caliper further away from the center of the rotor, you are now putting more force into stopping

That's where the experts at Baer Brake Systems (in Phoenix, Arizona) come in. Baer has developed the EradiSpeed Plus-1 upgrade system for the latest generation of GM 1/2-ton trucks and LUVs specifically to compliment larger wheel and tire packages. The simple bolt-on upgrade kit allows you to replace the stock 121/2-inch rotors with massive 14-inch cross-drilled, slotted rotors with zinc-washed surfaces. The kit also includes direct bolt-on replacement caliper brackets to relocate the OE caliper outward to allow the use of the larger diameter rotors. All original mounting hardware is retained.
This increase in rotor diameter increases leverage, braking power and efficiency by 17-percent, much the way that using a fulcrum and longer lever reduces the effort of lifting an object. Thus, EradiSpeed Plus-1 packages offer a return of braking performance, which is otherwise lost with the greater mass of larger wheels and tires (usually more than 30 lbs per corner on 20-inch wheel and tire combinations).

Here is the pic of my set up .... 286mm (11.2") rotors w/brackets & pads, 15" rim is minimum requirement & I am having 16" on my ride

yeah it's good upgrade it's very popular in HK i know they have it for the 01 lancer there (02+ Lancer in USA) i am trying to get one set when I am back on July or Sept...but if you have any for the 02 lancer then I might buy so do you have any for 02+? for 4 lugs? or will plan to have?

Too bad you have to replace the wheels to get the kit... this will hurt the sales a lot. I would never consider changing the stockers myself... I think they look really good on the car and they don't weigh too much either.
