Default Is there a company that makes custom rotors?

I did a search and couldnt find anything. Im wanting to go to a 14" rotor and make something like the Baer eradispeed kit. I may have a connection to get the caliper brackets built I just dont know where I could get a 14" rotor. I wish they made something like this already there isnt anything between a set of powerslots and the 3K wilwood 6 pistons 15" rotor setup I was trying to hold off on messing with the brakes but they just dont feel strong enough when Im carrying a load in the bed and having 35s on the truck.

I don't recall the exact price for the rotors, but you will need to run special brake pads too. The weight was phenomenal though. I think he told me like $500 for a set of 2 and that he was making all sizes/fit.

500 is good that would put me at about 1500 for rotors, brackets, pads and stainless lines. With carryin 2500#s of deer corn in the bed my truck just doesn't have as good a brakes as I want especially running my heavy wheel and tire combo its a safety concern. If you can get me his number that would be great.

I thought SSBC had something going like this for the new trucks now.

I know they had it for the GMT-800's.

Not that im aware of I looked on their site a week or two ago and all I've found is a slotted rotor kit with high performance pads, I want larger rotors to me its not worth the money for just slotted rotors. I need a big improvement or im going back to stock wheels.

If you find something between the two I might be interested as well for my dually. I am fairly certain the 2500s and the 3500s have the same brake setup
