Question Which Rotors?

Can you use MKIV Supra TT rotors over LS400 Rotors if you are doing a LS400 Caliper upgrade? Will is make a Diffference? Thanks

Shouldn't the brake pad surface area be the determining factor how it will stop. not the surface area on the rotor. After all , it's the pads that stop the car. You can have 15 inch rotors but you'll still have only x amount of brake pad.

I don't know maybe the larger rotors get rid of heat faster

get the ls400 rotors to match the calipers since they are made to work together and wont need a bracket made
