Brake kits?
I want to set my 88 TII up before I drop an engine in it so Im researching some parts. I have decided on PBM coilovers and was wondering if it was worth the money to put bigger brakes on all 4 corners. Who makes a decent kit? Im thinking at this point that I'm going to run 17" wheels, 18" at the largest. Want maximum stopping power for my $

well bigger rotors do not increase braking power. they coolfaster due to having more surface area.
usually to increase braking people switch pads or go to a higher piston caliper.

The developer of this kit along with me and another friend have been testing these for some time, now they're available!
Fade is almost non-existent during 25 minute track sessions, braking as late as bravery would allow, with fresh 255 tires all around
Have you tried running Hawk HP+ or a similar pad first to see if you need big brakes?

Larger diameter rotors most assuredly do increase braking power by virtue of providing a longer lever arm for the caliper.
The greater thermal capacity of a larger diameter rotor is also a factor but the diameter itself makes a difference...bigger=better.
