What he said, that's the bad part about having sweet rotors, you sacrifice smaller wheel sizes

BTW!!!

Got red anodized rear lower control arms and new shocks put on the car, I'll have pics of the LCA, you will love them.

By the way, I forgot to ask this, but when you upgrade to a 4 piston caliper, what kind of brake pads do you use? I assume that you no longer use the OEM sized pads.

you use whatever pads were designed for that caliper. There are a number of different compounds available for willwood dynalites. Pretty much anything you can get for OEM, you can get something comperable for the dynalites.

But yeah, they're bigger.
