Brake size

Hey guys, I was wondering real quick, could I up the rotor size yet still use stock calipers. I'm asking becaue I'd like to run spoon calipers (stock size) but have a bigger rotor to fill up the wheels more (show stuff lol.. gotta compete) Thanks all, just wondering if I could up the size with no problems LOL

You can increase the size of the discs using your existing caliper but you must have adapters to relocate the calipers to match with the size of the new discs. I think that I saw many disc+adapter kits in the parts/review section. My friends are also using the OEM size caliper with larger discs. So far, there're no problems since no modification is needed, just plug and play
P.S. First picture is my friend's car with 302 mm discs (17" wheels) another picture is 320 mm discs also with 17" wheels.

^^It's sad, that second picture is EXACTLY what I'm going form, same rims and all, 17inch works lol. The Spoon Calipers are stock sized it says (I believe), so I'm hoping that upper the rotor size will be ok, wish I could get that exact same setup the second car has lol. You don't happen to know what it is do you? Also, where/what the heck are these "relocation" kits?

Both of my friend's car uses E'spec kit which I don't think that is sold in the US. I got the link for you, the repositioning brackets are the two small metal bars on the left of the picture

It is possible for you to buy it here but I'm not so sure that will they ship it or not. Try checking out their website www.tsthailand.com The kit will work on your car also since it is the same model and the installation is real easy. Here's their phone no. (66)027526562
