|  |  Aftermarket Brake Upgrades
For the biggest, baddest brakes, look to an aftermarket kit. These usually include monster-sized rotors, often with race-style two-piece construction for weight savings. They normally have a large four-piston (or more) brake caliper, and brackets, lines, and pads to hook everything up.
Brakes like these serve two purposes. First, they're big enough to stand up to hard track use without breaking a sweat. Pad life will be longer, and there'll be no brake fade even after repeated 100-mph-to-30-mph braking.
A second purpose -- the primary one for some people -- is appearance. Nothing fills up a large, airy 17" or 18" wheel like a 13" brake rotor and some shiny red brake calipers. Yeah, it sounds like a pretty expensive cosmetic upgrade, but it does impress.
Keep in mind that most of the big-rotor upgrades will require a wheel upgrade to a 17" or larger rim.
