My car already uses a Corvette master cylinder along with a power booster, not sure the bore size though. Going with the Wilwood D52 calipers could be a good way to upgrade the brakes and save about $500 over the cost of the Wilwood MII 12" rotor upgrade kit. I'm guessing the biggest difference to the brake system effectiveness for street driving would be the 11" rotors versus the 12".

Does anyone have experience to know if the larger rotor size in this situation is really worth the extra cost?
