    I would like to upgrade the size of my brake rotors, while still using the same calipers. Does anyone know where I can find such an upgrade kit? There is a company called Baer that has this system , but they do not have it for Ferrari.

    I've read that you can move up to the brakes from the Ferrari 550 and they work quite well on the F355. Do a search in this forum and I think you'll find plenty of info. Good luck!

    What issue with the brakes do you think will be "made better" with a larger caliper?

    It is an easy enough part to have machined. Get some forged aluminum stock and have someone with a mill machine it to fit the caliper on one end and the hub on the other with the space you need inbetween.

    I have no issues with the brakes, Just thought they would look cooler than the stock rotors. I'm also thinking about going up to 19" wheels, where the larger rotor will look better.


    That's not a bad idea, now if I only knew someone who has a mill machine.
