    Default Help with vs statesman brake upgrade

    Hi guys found this product on ebay and would like to get some feedback and knowledge about this kind of upgrade. Reason for the upgrade is that I will be placing a bit more power into the vehicle shortly and I believe for engineering purposes a brake upgrade would be necessary. My front rotars are destroyed I thought it would be a good time to upgrade the front brakes anyway. From the link I have provided is this a simple bolt on product or is there anything else you can think of that I will need to spend money on.

    PS: My car is running a set of 19's, seems to have alot of space between the rim and the calopers so fitting these bigger brakes in shouldn't be a problem.

    Any responses would be appreciated.

    Thank you,

    I can get the rear slotted rotors in the same pattern so it won't look out of place. Smaller rears don't look that bad, not as bad as tiny fronts on large rims.
