Upgraded Rotor Options
Set of free calipers landed in my hands and there a bit overkill but I'll make them work. We're going to be making the caliper brakets here at CCW and possibly the rotor hats if I need to change some geometery. At any case I hope we don't have to make the rotor hats but wanted to know what type of upgraded rotor options are out there? Single peice or 2pc
I currently have 1.6l rotors so I could upgrade to 1.8l rotors but don't think those are going to cut it at all expecially what we have to do in such a short distance. Need a larger diameter rotor.

Aren't VW Corrado rotors 11" and easily available at your FLAPS as well? I just looked at a Goodwin BBK last night, ******* $650 for a set of goddamn rotors that I'll still eat to **** with some race pads. :(

Thought I was reading something about that but was unsure. Wilwoods have to be the cheapset; I bought a whole dynalite big brake kit for my 02 civic when I had it and the two calipers, brakets, and 2pc rotors ran $550 shipped. So if I could get the the rotors from that kit or simular they have to be around $250 for both.
You have any idea what diameter the stock NA rotors are?

Basically I needed to fab up hubcentric rings to mount Corrodo rotors and adapter plates to move the factory 1.8 caliper up from centerline.
I may have under $100 into this.
