Default Brake Help: 355mm (~14") front rotors?

So I am trying something a little different. Is there anyone here running a 14" or 355mm front rotor? I am concerned about clearances to the ball joint and would appreciate any help. Also, I am trying to establish if there is a major issue with the master cylinder not being able to provide enough pressure for significantly larger calipers. I know pedal travel will be compromised, by how much is my concern. If I have to lose the ABS and go to a twin master cylindered Tilton unit, I am will evaluate if that is worth the hassle over selecting an off the shelf system.

Regards,
Asura

There is somebody on this site running a HP racing 8 piston bbk with a rotor that size. I cant remember who the member was. You might want to contact HP racing and see if they give you some info.

HP? Do you mean AP Racing? The only 14" off the shelf kit I am aware of is the Stoptech +1.

I believe the brake set-up you are speaking of is the one on my car (which may be for sale) as I have not seen any others. It previously belonged to user BC02 on here.





I can get some pics of the set-up if you would like to see specific clearances.

KSport makes a kit for the S2000 using 356mm rotors w/8-piston calipers. I've used it and it's pretty awesome..
