I have 2 points why bigger rotors/calipers are better, even if we come to the conclusion that they don't decrease stopping distance.

~ With bigger brakes you don't have to put as much pressure on them to get the same results.

~Bigger brakes on a non-abs car should make the rotors last longer.


I still think that they would have to decrease stopping distance because with bigger rotors you need less pressure which will make the time it takes to get to a ceartin point shorter (even if its only by .001) and with a bigger surface area if one were to do it smart (not just mash the brakes causing them to lock up) would stop faster than a car with smaller rotors.

But really, I think this thread is useless without test results.
