      What about calipers. Has anyone tried any matching up to improve brakes performace in anyway?? Does having drilled rotors improve braking that much??

          i have the 1.5 calipers and rotors on my car currently...i have had the rear disk and calipers ofr about 2 years now...but i have not put them on because i need the e-brake cable and the bracket to mount the caliper. my front disk are uneven and also warped beyond safety. and to add to it i have my Z5 turbo charged with a BP sittin in my garage just waiting to be dropped in. so as u can see i reall need the brake upgrade.

          i was thinkin that i can get a larger disk e.g the 1.8(or possibly larger if i can find one) and use an aftermarket caliper such as a 4pot wilwood to make a great upgrade combination

                  that's easy for u to say...would love to see u dish out the cash.......like money grows on trees.
                  I decided to get some wilwood 4 pot calipers and attain some 11 inch rotors and do a custom setup.will includ pics and what ever else as soon as i can...only got the calipers so far...still gotta get some rotors..and build the caliper bracket adapter
