Brakes question...
Will 12" Rotors and Brakes fit under my 16" Wheels?
Reason I'm asking is I saw some Brake Callipres but the item description said they were 12"'s ?? Is this the actual callipre or the rotor? Thanks.

Re: Brakes question...
everyone I ever talk to says new rotors are just appearence mods... and they break ten times as often as oem. now calipers and pads on hte other hand, strap those to oem rotors, and you get about the same stopping power as aftermarket rotors.

Incorrect.
Drilled rotors are all eye candy. Not all new rotors.
OEM rotors suck hairy siverback gorilla testiclesess. They are a very light casting that is very prone to warpage. Stock LS1 front rotors weight ~16lbs. Decent replacement blanks 18 lbs or up. IIRC Bremo weigh 19 and Baer over 20 lbs. All stock sized. Then of course you could always stp up to C5 brakes. 13" rotors are not just eye candy.
Now the question I have is: How long will it be before this thread gets moved to the BRAKE section where it should be?

So will anything greater than 11.8" stock rotors fit under our 16" wheels?
Also I had my Passenger Side Front Callipre seize up on me (Pistons got stuck) and I Antiseized the living crap out of it. It seems to be working fine again however should I be looking for replacement down the road or is this problem solved?
