Hey guys. I am thinking of upgrading my brakes. I have a few options.

I can either try to save some money and stick with the same calipers = new pads and same size rotors.

As my buddy Zhiryst told me I could find some XG350 calipers and get some new rotors + pads.

I can spend the $ and get the Seoulful Racing kit complete.
One of my major concerns is not being able to swap my 17" wheels to the stock in the winter. if I go with a larger rotor /caliper set-up. The winters are brutal on the roads as some of you know. I am hoping some of you have had experience with some of these options and can give me some feed-back.

me personally, i would never go with the xg oem swap. those parts are so heavy that you are easily negating any gains you would get from larger rotors/calipers.
