Default Has anybody used the Brembro Big Brake Kit?

I'm looking at options to upgrade brakes and wanted to know if anyone has used the Brembro Big Brake kit and what their thoughts were. Thanks.

Default Right now I am trying to pick between the 12.9" or 13.1" brembo kits.

All I know is one of them is going to be going on the car, just have to figure out the pro and cons between the 2.

I'd go 13.1" Bigger caliper and thicker rotor.

I went with the larger set. It is great for the track and the components are beefier.

Default 12.9 will be closer to stock brake bias, 13.1 will throw it to the front...

pad selection can change this quite a bit.
