so the shear size of the rotor is going to be for purely cosmetics, correct? obviously there will be a preformance upgrade due to the slotted rotors, ss lines, pads and fluid... but I am curious to how this would look with stock caliper, won't the pads hit the rotor in an offset location?

I like the concept, but would like to see a mock up b4 I put a $ amount on it

No, he's making a relocation bracket to move the caliper out to accomodate the larger rotor... It's all about leverage.

As an example, in Mt. bikes it makes a HUGE difference upgrading from a 6 inch rotor to an 8 inch rotor, and all that is needed is the rotor and caliper mounting bracket, but NOT a new caliper. Same concept.

I think this is the way to go. I don't need extra braking power, but those who do will see a vast improvement.
