Biggest rotors

[Xlt600Dude]

I need new front brake and i was wondering what is the biggest rotor you can fit on the front.

12.5" with stock slicers; Baer Racing Sports.

As long as your not stock for long as your profile states, get some 17's and you can run 13" rotors. 2 piece is nice to reduce weight. The larger the rotor the more weight you have to turn the less acceleration and suspension responsiveness you have. That extends to wheels and tires.

Did somebody say 13"s?

you need bigger tires though

 

[jedhead]

12.5" Rotors 1lbs more than stock. Calipers weigh less

Knunkles weigh 6lbs less

17X8 OZ Wheels and 235/45-17 tires 41lbs

You can contact Todd at TCE performance. He may be able to make some 14" or 14.5" setups.
You may be able to get a Baer Racing sport set up with 14" rotors and make new caliper mounts too.
All these ideas are $$$$

Thanks. I figure I have the best of light wieght and high braking power.

Yes, 2-piece rotors are lighter, but the critical weight is still on the outer diameter of the rotor, so it's not a big difference in the weight vs acceleration/stopping respect. The aluminum will bleed away heat better though.

I also have less unsprung wieght that help with the ability for the suspension to respond. Also I have smaller rotors than the 13" rotors that are commonly used.

12.5 consists of
Mustang GT PBR calipers?
Different Caliper bracket?
12.5 rotor?
94-95 Knuckles?

Baer 12.5" kit. Modified pre-94 knuckles, HD PBR calipers. Todd (TCE) has the pieces for a two-piece rotor, which is what jedhead is showing.

Nice kit. That's what I've had for a long time; it's currently on the Pumpkin.
