Big Brakes????

[Braap]

I've been looking into IE's wilwood big brake kits for awhile now but Im skeptical because Ive heard that the stock brake booster/master cylinder cant ouput enough to make huge 6 piston calipers an effective upgrade. Any advice or input in this matter would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I've never heard of that before. I have 6-piston calipers on my daily driver. We'll see how well it works at the track this weekend.
If that is true though, you can always swap in a larger (25mm) master cylinder.

As long as the piston area is not radically different the stock booster/master should have no problem stopping the car.
