So you are planning on coughing up 2.5k grand on a set of brakes just for looks? By asking people what are the pros and cons of a bigger set of brakes it just shows your ignorance in the ability to not be able to judge why a car needs brakes. Have you felt brake fade? Do you have very sticky tires? Why are you wanting to upgrade something you have no clue over why it needs upgrading in the first place. A bigger set of brakes will not make the car stop any faster in the street , a good set of tires will. You will prob never experience brake fade in the street nor do you need the huge braking force since your street tires prob will limit your ability to stop before your brakes do.
But if you want to throw your money away on something you dont need for the street go ahead, its your cash not ours.

Stoptech has a big brake kit out, but it's really not cheap. For the time being the best bet is to roll with an upgrade in pads, lines, and fluid.
You could always paint the calipers but that's along cheesy lines anymore. |
Hey i powdered coated my 300zx brake upgrade and my stock s14 brakes and i dont think it looked cheesy!! Its not cheesy if you do it right. Which involves taking the calipers apart.
