You said limited funds. So forget the idea. Fix what you have and move on.Expensive is right. I’m not looking to spend a grand for a set of Wilwoods. Any suggestions on where to buy replacements other than the usual Jegs, Summit etc..

Just brake calipers pads and rotors.
If you're using the same pads, then you have the same friction surface area. Is the upgrade in the looks department?Since you are replacing rotors right now, for $90 more you could upgrade to 12" disks: Mopar 11.75" Disc Brake Slider Caliper Brackets . Those use your same calipers and brake pads.

Fair enough, thank you. Hadn't thought of the leverage angle.Larger rotor applies more torque by have a longer lever arm to stop the wheel from spinning.
Larger rotor surface dissipates heat faster/better
Interesting, thank you for the advice and links for the parts. I believe I will do this.Since you are replacing rotors right now, for $90 more you could upgrade to 12" disks: Mopar 11.75" Disc Brake Slider Caliper Brackets . Those use your same calipers and brake pads.
Then you would buy 12" rotors instead of the 11" you have now. 12" rotor are about the same price as 11".
