alright, I've got the power dept handled with my ka-t.
next.. being able to bring my bish to a stop...

my options are orbiting around the fact that if I go too big on rotor/caliper sizes that I'll have to upgrade my BMC. I have barely enough clearance as it is being top mount and I don't want to redo all that.. so basically... when is the stock BMC not enough to stop a turbo charged vehicle?

can I do z32s or q45s on the stock BMC? doesn't seem like that would be a good idea...

I'm leaning towards brembo stock sizes and some beefy pads(hawks or something of the like..still researching.) But will I be able to bring my (~260hp) ka-t to a stop, happily? (with stock BMC)

edit: I'm also heavily concerned with brake bias which is why keeping the stock dimensions seems like the better idea to me..
