I understand completely, I just thought that Toyota upgraded all of the MR2 brakes (NA and Turbo models) in 93 increasing their size? I thought thats one of the reasons for the 15 inch wheels beyond all of the suspension upgrades that they made to counter the snap back over steer, but also to accommodate the bigger brake size.

Plus I did stop very well my stock equipments but a few years ago I upgraded with Hawk performance pads and Power Slot Rotors, however I am surrounded by Porsches, M3s, Vettes, etc in my area and I know most of them will stop faster than my MR2 will. So I wanted to increase the brakes size to the 93 model upgrade or to the 91 T brakes.

I originally read that the 91 NA stopped from 60-0 in 130 feet and that the Turbo stopped from 60-0 in 111 feet, unfortunately for me I have the harsh reality that many cars in my area will stop faster than that. Between being a performance upgrade I would also want to perform this upgrade for a reason of safety, I want to out stop/match other cars on the road.

To further enhance my cars performance I have a heavy duty bilstein suspension 16x7.5r and 16x7fr Dunlop Direzza Star Spec Tires and my rims weigh around 22lb a piece.
