Rotor size

[20ducks]

I am running with Ford 20" wheels. The stock rotor size looks puny. Not knowing enough about this, I figured someone on this forum will be knowledgeable to give me some help. Is it possible to replace the small rotor with a larger one and keep the caliper etc as is? This is for the rears only.

No

What would I need to do to increase the diameter of a rotor?

Full GT350 setup front and rear. Ford Part number M-2300-Y. You'd also need new wheels.

Increasing rear brake size for looks is one of the most hard-parker, rice things one can do. Not sorry if this gets anyone's jimmies rustled.

What's the opposite of have one's jimmies rustled?

You mean...

If you get 19 or 18 inch wheels, your brakes won't "appear" as small and you'll improve the driving characteristics of the car. Win win

I don't think so. I get the appeal of big brakes and why someone would want them, but to change your brake bias and spend hundreds/thousands JUST for looks is really dumb, to me. The stock rear brakes don't even begin to become a performance issue unless you're very fast and tracking the car with very sticky tires.

I just wish that cast rear caliper wasn't so damned heavy.

Can't get hella flush with 19's son.

LMFAO !!

Yes, and you should know that stance-bro code prevents use of any wheel less than 20 inches. Can't get hella flush with 19's son.

Hey. I resemble that remark. 20" wheels are the biggest hit to my car's performance by far but...they look great. Damn it.
