Brake ? For 21" wheels

I noticed that a lot of guys that go with the 21" rims ends up using only 1 brake rotor instead of the duel factory rotors. My question is what brake upgrade did you go with in order to keep the stock stopping power with the singe rotor. Thanks

Even if you put both stock rotors on the 21" wheel, you would lose stopping power. The larger wheel has more leverage.

I stayed with dual rotors, and don't notice any difference in stopping power.

I believe you can go with a single 13" rotor with a 6 piston caliper or dual calipers on one side.
