> 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.
