larger rotor upgrades for brembos?

anyone know of any upsize rotor upgrades for the factory brembos? i wanna go to 15in front rotor but keep my brembo calipers.

also has anyone fabricated this themselves using larger rotors made for another car and fabricating new caliper brackets?

The shape [curve] of rotors, pads, and caliper body must match the curve [diameter] of rotors.

Just mounting the caliper further outboard on a larger rotor would throw off the factory brake bias and you would end up with poorer braking and longer braking distances. Not a move I'd recommend.

I'm not aware of any Brembo caliper extensions.

You need to go to a BBK if you want larger rotors.

Brakes

For one piece upgrade do Brembo slotted and you will get better braking and the zinc coating looks cool with the OEM calipers. For better heat capacity and cooling do Stop Tech 2-piece slotted. Pricey but great for both braking and heat capacity.
