Default Brake system Question

I just put 20" AR Rebels on my 05 stang. I love the wheels but the rotors look tiny compared with the wheel. Any suggestions or info on replacing my rotors and calipers would be appreciated.

Check out the Baer kits. 14 inch rotors and 4 piston calipers

I want to replace the rotors and calipers on all four wheels. I see brake kits selling for like $2300 just for the front brakes, like brembo and the Baer kit owero01 suggested. I would rather not spend $4000 on them, is that my only option?


I have noticed since the wheels where put on the steering wheel shakes a little bit, should I get an allignment? It is not drifting to either side.

Prolly wheel balancing is off a little.

Bigger brake kits are not cheap at all, performance is upgraded with them generally but you pay for everybit of it!
