A little while ago, i switched to 15" wheels as well, hoping to fit larger, more powerful brakes on the front (although i can't complain that they look better, too)... however, since then the few people i've asked about the performance of the big brake kit have said that it only improves brake fade characteristics, and not overall raw stopping power.


Is this the consensus?  (the only person i've heard say otherwise was trying to sell them...)


Thanks,
