Default Biggest brakes for TT2s??

Was doin some searchin for upgrading my brakes...but I keep reading like nothing fits my damned TT2s! I want a bigger rotor(like 13+). I noticed the baer kit can be fitted if I grind off the fins but I'd rather not do that. Any one know if the wilwood 6 piston kit will fit or any other big brake kit that will fit??? help!

For the money, you cant beat the C5 kit that LG has. There brackets bolt onto the spindle and allow you to run a 12.8" C5 front rotor. That will clear on TT2's and still fill up the wheel. The kit is a lot cheaper then the baer kit and you are not locked into there overpriced rotors. You can use any front C5 rotor and the calipers are the same as your, just say Baer. I have the LG kit and love it. I also have some nice C5 calipers waiting to go on mine.

The C5 conversion kit for the F-Car does not fit behind a 17" TT2.

Wow. That is stupid that you cant fit a C5 rotor behind a 17" inch TT2. I guess you have to keep the brakes or keep the wheels man. Yes it should have been in the handling and braking forum, lol. WOOPS LOL
