Big Brake kit 92 Teg?
I'm looking to put a larger diameter rotor on my 92 Teg (front) without changing the actual calipers....anyone know ware i can get the bracket necessary to fit a larger rotor or any other good options?

My understanding is that with a larger rotor...you are increasing the surface area/contact patch of the pad...therefore increasing your stopping power by up too 30%.....think of it this way as well....try to stop a bicycle tire from spinning by grabbing the hub of the wheel.....you will burn your hand trying to stop it...now stop the tire from spinning by grabbing it by the tire...you can do it without issue. Point is that i believe its the same "leverage" principal at work with the rotor.

Going to just a bigger rotor is as bad as going with slotted or cross-drilled rotors - it isn't going to do anything.

There's plenty to do outside my room but I choose not to!

you can use accord wagon calipers(and brackets) and 92-95 prelude rotors gotta redrill the rotor to fit 4x100 and take a litle material off the caliper bracket

you'd be hard pressed to put a larger rotor on without changing the caliper as well. the oem calipers are designed to only fit the rotors they come with. you will need to do some modifying either way. as Buff posted, i've done this swap a few times and it does help with stopping power. this would be a direct bolt onto your car with the redrilled rotors and machined caliper brackets.
