Default 15" Stoptech

Guys,

I have 14" stoptechs and I just got my CCWs what will accommodate 15" rotors. Does anyone use 15" rotors? Any pros/cons? I was thinking of ordering 15" spares instead of 14" (I know I have to change caliper mount).

Thanks in advance,
Bob

it will also change the leverage the pad applies to the rotor. I have a PFC kit with 15" rears, and I know it is all "blingy", but I'd rather have them smaller.

With good cooling, 14" rotors can dissipate all the heat you can throw at it. Without good cooling, nothing can help!

The other advantage of running 14" square on the car is that the rotors front and rear are the same.

Now if I could get Stoptech to give me a set of carbon rings to try...
