Spoon rotors are +15mm in diameter And there are larger pads available to match.

^ RR brakes less than most*.

*Have to add the disclaimer so we don't get sued by fat chicks when their one size fits all fruit of the loom t-shirts cause them to self asphyxiate in to a coma.

you stated the stock brakes are only good for short sprints and time attacks.

I guess we differ on what is considered short.

Opps. Sorry Rylan.

I mean to say that I didn't feel the need for a BBK on 25min sessions. I didn't want to imply that all bbk are useless as it might make a diffrene on longer runs but I don't have any personal experience. (I might this year... )

I find it insanely difficult to believe you've gone though so few pads, Krazik (I go through the Wilwood B's once every two track days). If I didn't know what you're capable of on the track I'd guess you just didn't brake hard....or is your secret to fast laps just to not brake AT ALL????

oh I brake plenty hard, come for a ride at laguna.

The weight loss on the car is what I attribute most of the brake pad savings too. But I still brake hard, late and often.
