A larger rotor has more mass and gives more leverage out of given clamping force, but in reality, you're just spending more money. Your tires will be you limiting factor in stopping with either of the 12.9" setups (proper pad is key no matter what brake setup you run). And don't be fooled by diameter being such a big deal. F1 cars run something like 10.9" diameter rotors.
With fresh tires, I'm hitting over 120mph on our front straight and mash on them well into the markers. I will be going for 300whp for next years season and will continue to run the 12.9" rotor. I believe rthorne might have the larger rotor StopTech kit, but he also has like 700whp and drives it like a pro driver should.
FYI: 355 mm is 13.9", not 15".

A couple things I forgot to mention on the build side of things
- Flushed the brake fluid with Motul RBF600 with SS brake lines
- Re worked all mounts on the diffuser (I had to modify the second plate off of my old diffuser to work with the rep Spoon)
- Reinforced the truck to take load from the Seibon wing
