brake rotors

what size are the stock 6th gens?


is there a cost effective way to upgrade to bigger rotors? i know 5th gen owners can use cobra rotors with an adaptor for their caliper, could i do this on a 6th gen?

Search and scan for Kam and Willwood Brakes. I think he went with 13 inchers.

You most def. can! There have been people with APRacing, Stillen and most popular WILWOOD BBK's on 6th gen's.

Quick facts: Stillen cheapest, AP most expensive, WILWOOD best bang for buck, but there are fitment issues with this one.
Either way, you're going to be looking at anywhere from $1,000-$2,500 +install if you don't do it yourself.

And if you want to go for the cheap but still efficient way, then go with Brembo or RTP(zinc plated to prevent rust), HAWK HPS Pads, and SS lines all around! About $500...give or take

I had no fittment issues with my Wilwood.... however remember you will chew rear pads with slotted rotors and lowered rear.
