Well, unless you plan to change calipers as well (or somehow adjust the seat of your stock ones), you can't get bigger rotors, just a better ones.  However, on the cheap, the word is to go through colletti motorsports (937.312.1533).   This has been Hippo's hookup and he's been happy with them.  Brembo blank rotors shipped for about $75.  As for pads, I'm running the KVR carbon kevlars from PDM and they work pretty well ($35 per axle).  No fade yet.  They're the cheaper option.  Porterfield R4s or Carbotechs would get my business if I was looking to spend around $100 per axle.

Make sure when you swap parts, you replace your brake fluid.  While not nessasary to change pads or rotors, it's certainly recomended ($5-10).  If you're feeling spendy, you could do a SS brake line upgrade for about another $100.  Or if you're really spendy, skip all this and pick up some Z brakes for around $500.

Brakes come up pretty often, so search the past posts and there's a couple good ones in the FAQ section.

I'm running porterfield r4s all around and they only cost me about $100-110 or so total for all 4 corners, they aren't THAT much more expensive than the kvr.

Really? &nbsp;I thought they were in the $75-100 per axle range. &nbsp;$100 all around ain't bad at all. &nbsp;I think if I was in the market again, they would be my choice. &nbsp;I've just read too many good things about them. &nbsp;While I like my KVR's they do require some heat to work well and most feel the R4s' are pretty good even cold. &nbsp;Is that accurate? &nbsp;Might just have to get those when the Z brakes go on this winter. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
