Would PBR calipers be a good upgrade on my sn95?

If you can i would definitely upgrade to the 13" brakes, after driving hondas for the past couple of years with their econo brakes, then getting into my car with the nice cobra brakes, i will never go back to small brakes again. Not only does it make it nice when you really need to stop, but i think that everyday driving is improved because of how much less effort is needed to stop the car. I also just put on stainless lines and i would say that they are worth it, the pedal definitely got a lil stiffer and more responsive, although i havent got a chance to really step on em and see how they preform cuz the rotors and pads are still bedding.

So you can find a PBR swap for around a $100. How much is a cobra swap?

When I upgraded to the Cobra set, the only difference I saw was a red caliper, 13" rotors and SS brake lines. I noticed a huge difference, I wonder why so much over stock 01.

Leverage.



In theory, you could stop your car with your own fingertips if you could put a large enough rotor on it. (i'm talking 100 foot diameter ir so) The larger the rotors, the less energy it takes to stop it from spinning.
