Default Stock front rotor diameter?

Does anyone know off the top of their head what is the diameter of the stock front rotors. Also, what are the size of the pistons in the calipers? I'm sticking with a 4lug set up and i was looking at some of the SSBC kits. Just curious if their "big front brake kit is worth it or is something similar can be done for less money. Thanks

I think they are 10.5 some may call them 11. one thing you can do is upgrade to the LSI big bore caliper and change over to braided steel brake lines they sell the lines at Advance for like $78 a friend of mine got them for his race car and said it was night and day difference with the pedal feel
