Slow down, Burgy! Don't you know that EVO brakes are a hack because they use relocation brackets??!!
Maybe I took the wrong approach, initially. Yes, maybe relocated Z32 kits are a hack. This is opinion. Yes, relocated Z32 kits increase braking (cooling and torque). This is fact. I could give 2 shits about opinion; I just want people to have the facts straight.
Yes you are correct! As you said, if this will see real track time then a bigger upgrade to the larger rotors will help, It is also my opinion that it is a hack job for a car that will see serious track time though too..
The Evo set up is better, but I understand how this is can be considered a hack job as well. I believe that if the brackets are of quality and so are the bolts holding them on it is much better option than the bigger rotors on calipers that aren't made for them option.
For street use they are over kill, but at least the Evo set up has calipers and rotors that match in size and are set up for each other...
Oh, and for my Q this is not overkill...
