That's going to prove nothing.
Your tires are the same, your weights the same, all factors are the same.
Now go do 5 stops consecutively or high speed stops then you will see results.
We did a stock brake system supra compared to our 13.6" kit and the Evo/sti rears. The first 2 60-0 stops were dead even. The third, Bbk car stopped sooner by a car. The forth was no match while the stock brake supra easily doubled the normal distance.

Correct. Doesn't matter if you has a 20" Bbk, your going to stop the same distance as stock as long as you can put the tire to the limit on the stock setup.
Now if you shaved weight, you would reduce stopping distance on both setups equally. Same with stickier tires.
Bbk have more mass, bigger pad area, etc that would delay brake fade if not if not diminish it.

has anyone tried to put the evo rotors on?
cause ive seen some deals with new rotors and pads(of course calippers too) for cheap locally.

Did you end up using the 2mm washers to space the caliper outboard? Also what wilwood calipers are on the front, 6 or 4 pot? How is the pedal feel with the stock master cylinder?DarkOne0;1875076 said:

Yes I used some 2mm spacers. I have the 4 pot Wilwoods. The pedal feel feels about the same as it did with the stock rears. Everything seems to be working great together. For some reasons my parking brake is looser now. I guess I have to readjust it for the STI rotors.
The Wilwood and Evo calipers are so easy to deal with compared to the stock units.
yeah as far as swapping pads goes, they are much simpler. pad wear will be far more even with the twin piston as opposed to the crappy sliding stock caliper. I have the wilwood 4 pots up front too so that is good to know.

Parking brake being looser is very odd as the ID of the sti rotor parking brake is a decent bit smaller.
