it is a 12" rotor vs. the 11" factory, a two piston vs. 1 piston caliper, a sealed hub so you can remove the rotor without having to disassembling the bearingshttp://secondhandracing.com/Home.aspx

I also have done this to my car, and I don't have a bad thing to say about it. I'm pleased with the improved stopping power, but mostly I'm pleased with the improved control over the brakes. Stock brakes are kind of grabby. Big brakes you can modulate very easily. I can drive my car in snow and ice a lot easier than before.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
