AT base brake upgrade
Has anyone upgraded from the base brakes on the AT?
Ive been searching around and i know that the base AT does not have the MC brace, or 12" brakes on the front. The rears on both the MT and AT are the same.
So my question is can I just buy larger rotors for the front and it will fit OK?

I checked out the brake upgrade but I don't think I'm interested in a big brake upgrade. The OEM ones are fine, but I wouldn't mind having the sport suspension brakes.
Anyone know where I can get these?

I looked into this a bunch when I was considering actually downgrading to the AT brakes for rally wheel/tire fitment. It's actually even more extensive than has been mentioned. I believe the hydraulics are a bit different because of the different diameters, so you also need a different master cylinder and proportioning valve.

If you are upgrading just for the sake of knowing you have larger than base model AT brakes, then dont even bother.

Thanks for all the info.
I thought it would just be a simple caliper and rotor upgrade. (Master cylinder and goodies optional)
My brakes are just fine. I would like to eventually track my car when I complete my suspension so upgrading my brakes would be a plus.
