Its not that I hate big wheels, its just that I want to get every bit of performance out of the car, and Big wheels Dont do that, they infact slow you down. And adding a big brake kit at all will slow down your acceleration more. Forcing a 127 Hp car to run 17+ wheels.... Thast just makeing a slow car Slower. If you are looking for better braking, there are other Non-performance Killing ways to do it.

"I know Solo only comes one minute at a time, but what an intense, non-stop, fast-forward car control exercise minute it is. Sure, the velocity is higher in road racing, but inside the car it is slow-motion in comparison. In Solo, the turns come like machine-gun rounds. "

Someone does make an 11" rotor upgrade kit. I know I've seen it, I just need to find where. Its basically an ITR rotor redone for 4x100 and the kit comes with Wilwood Dynalite calipers, the whole package fits neatly under a 15 inch wheel. Thats an upgrade kit I'd consider, as long as the system had enough pressure to push fluid through the 4 pots. Too bad the rules say I can't do it.
after looking at this kit, they arent much better than stock setup. The pistons are only 2 caliper, would be better if they were 4, ours are 1 piston, and the rotors and pads are just as good as any other. So honestly, they probably wont do much.
