if you want bigger discs, you could better buy big calipers also. because a big disc kit will make the OE caliper to hot in short time.

whats your brake setup now?

what happens when the calliper heats up ? does it just boil the fluid ?

will it be bad even when the discs are just a little bit bigger ?

the big disc kit is not a real good option with 4wd calipers. the calipers are to small. the 2wd caliper is much better but wont fit. correct if im wrong.

buy a 4pot 330 kit and you wont regret(spelling) it.
