13"...the thing that I guess I thought would have been bigger, or at least bigger than it is was the rotor pad contact area....it looks a lot thinner than the stock setup. I am sure it has to do with the type, and amount of pistons the caliper has

Wow so my stoptech kit won't be looking too big haha. I do feel that I have a lot more pad/rotor surface area than you too.

it might be hard to tell by this picture and since ours aren't side by side or anything. Either way, your setup is sick! I bet stopping with those is like hitting a wall lol.

Will do...we did several things yesterday...Rions coilover install, then he bought my drilled and slotted rotors that I had on my car, so we installed those, the BBK install, bled Slikks brakes, and also repaired a pin hole leak that we found in my radiator, where that lower intercooler pipe had been rubbing against it

+1 At any given time we have 3-4 Scions running either in the AutoX or on the Road course days. All from the same crew, all from the same love of the game...busting corners!

Got the new calipers and got started on the install tonight
Comparison shot
The other great feature about this setup...to change pads you dont have to remove the calipers.
Just remove the retaining bolt
Slide the pads in
and reinstall bolt
and plenty of room for your allen wrenches to turn!
Stock wheels with spacers...plenty of room
and stock wheels with out spacers...well not a lot of room but they fit fine no rubbing at all
