you wouldn't need bigger rotors, but you could fit some bigger ones in there

Where can you get a univ. brake system and can it if a gen 3? Or is the something not too pricey for a gen 3 brake system? I just want to stop quicker and not worry about changing the brake every 1,ooo miles.

you dont have to upgrade, but you should...

dont you like to stop..?


if you have ABS, you have disc brakes all around..

if you dont have ABS, you have discs upfront, and drums in the rear...

VERY valuable information if you're upgrading your brakes...

You can do a swap.

You need the spindle / knuckle & hub assembly, calipers, rotors, brake pads, brake lines, and e-brake cable.

I will be doing some prototyping for Rotora for Big Brakes.

It will be for the Gen3, Gen4, and Gen 1 Solaras. Possibly Gen 5.

www.rotora.com

They will probably be 13 inch rotors with a 4 piston Caliper. Should be about $1450-$1600.
