can i just put on bigger rotors on my car or do i have to make some sort of changes to accomidate them. and if i did this would there be any benefit at all?

bigger rotors are usually wider, which means you need to adjust the caliper carriers. not not mention those needs to be adjusted for the placement of the caliper on the rotor

the cheapest method is the A8 upgrade. tech article explains it.

You will need at least new caliper carrier brackets to position the caliper farther out from the axle. Also, you must be sure that the larger setup will clear your wheel rims.

Larger front rotors give you improved stopping from freeway speeds and improved heat resistance for repeated hard braking. Around town your braking distance is limited by the tires. The downside is more mass and rotational inertia.

get the A-8 rotor's and the TT caliper carrier and that's all you should need uses's same pads
you need at least a 16" rim

Go for the A8 rotor/TT caliper upgrade. I heard one person get the parts for as little as $400 and change.

If you want a real big brake(super street or racing track quality) upgrade you will look between $1500+ on the low end and $4000+ on the high end.

I am looking at keeping my calipers and getting just the A8/TT component upgrades.
