AP Racing Big Brake Kit Installed!

hey travis. glad to hear the bbk completely eliminated your brake problems. can you explain a little more about how it's doing this? from the specs, it doesnt look like the kit is that much bigger than the sport brakes which are already pretty huge (14.25" vs. 14"). from comments made in other threads, it seemed more of an abs/ brake assist problem than with the actual calipers/ rotors/ pads themselves. would the 1/4" increase in rotor size make that much of a difference in heat dissipation to prevent the problem?

i'm kind of hesitant to do a bbk b/c of the cost, but if that's the only way to solve this problem, then i guess i dont have a choice.....
