imo the big brake kit is un-needed...braided lines some sloted vented rotors and some good pads and even with a 195 you can still lock up the fronts..big brakes means more weight where you want it least

quality fluid and braided lines makes a big differance alone..toss on some good pads n rotors and the oe size is plenty even slowing from tripple digits or crazy down hill....the bigger issue is brake fade which can be adjusted with pads alone one you go vented sloted

I appreciate you input I will keep that in mind. However, I've already purchased everything to do the big brake kit so I will most likely go through with it. Worst case scenario I can always change back over.

Its not really a big job actually, I had mine done inside a couple hours. The change in brake feel alone is worth it, you have a more linear braking feel instead of an "all or nothing" feel with the shoes.

i got that just from doing braided lines with stock size drilled n slotted rotors up front...still rockin the drums out back...every now n then brakeing thru a 20mph corner doing 40+ you can feel the rear not braking quite enough but ive locked a front wheel once or twice in hard odd camber downhill corners so ive got more brake than i can even use at times LOL
