What kind of increase can I see from running 11 x 2.5 over 10 x 2.5 brakes? The advantages that is? I havent done my brakes yet and with pricing parts they are close to the same just wondering the advantages of 11"

Anyone? I realize one advantage is Stopping power... Ok let me ask it this way. Is it worth going to 11" brakes over 10" brakes?
It certainly wouldn't hurt. I don't know if you would feel a noticeable difference or not. I just went from a 7 1/4 rear to an 8 3/4 rear and don't really notice it with the larger brakes.

If it's the rear brakes that you are referring to, then i would not expect a noticeable difference. In most situations the rear brakes contribute little to stopping, but a bunch toward keeping the car straight. The 11" drums are quite a bit heavier than the 10" and that's unsprung weight.
