I am prepping my car 2004 2.3L for rallycross. Though I'm starting in the stock class, long term I might move up to Prepared or Modified. In those classes, you can run rally tires. Problem is, most rally tires are only available in 15" and smaller sizes. According to all the threads, the brakes on my 2.3L car will not allow for 15" rim.
So I've been thinking if it would be possible to downgrade the brakes to 2.0L brakes. I know that is the opposite of what most people do, but it would really open up possibilities for rally tires. Of course, the idea of smaller brakes is obviously going to affect stopping power. Some might even say it would be dangerous. But all those rally cars with 15" wheels have WAY more power than my 3. There must be a way to have sufficient stopping power with smaller brakes that accommodate 15" wheels. Any ideas?
