Message	You simply will not load up the brakes enough for it to matter. Stock brakes can generate near identical 1 time brake numbers to 13" or 14" brake kits. All you need is the correct pad material, and quality fluids, maybe a better tire. Big brake kits are for road race applications when repeated braking while lapping would heat soak and fade a conventional system. The primary benefit of larger then stock brake systems is additional cooling capacity (rotor size and directional vanes) which in turn lets you step on the brakes over & over with out over heating them.
