So, my TCE lines are in and my brakes hopefully today, but looking at my brakes this morning, something didn't look right. can anyone upload a pic of their stock from and back brake size, with the wheel on and all is fine, just need a comparison. the front seem big and the back small, just trying to make sure they haven't been upgraded. thanks

Normal.
Since most of the braking is done with the front brakes the rotor and caliper are bigger in the front.
Been that way for years.

And once you notice it, it is kind of alarming how small both the front and back rotors really are.

Got the calipers back from powder coating and installed yesterday, $122.00 for the powder coat, I thought was kind of stiff but looks nice.

Looks great. They powder coated and did the lettering?
Your old stock rotors look like the stoptech centric slotted rotors I just put on.

Are those different color reds on the bracket & caliper? Also, are the letters done in white?

How are the power stop kits? Just got a marauder and it needs front and rear brakes. Was sitting for over a year in NJ, so there's more rust than rotors. Any other suggestions for stock size rotor upgrades? Can't afford a big brake kit yet.
