Bigger rotors would also help, but cryo-treating makes a huge difference either way. They also wear a lot longer. I'd never seen rotors so thin (and still useable, but a little warped) as the one's I pulled off my front after 4 years of abuse.

Are you talking about Subaru wheels or just 15" wheels in general?

Because there are no subaru 15" wheels that will fit over the WRX brakes....

15" wheels in general, but I have heard from a few people that there are 15" that will fit the wrx brakes. legacy turbo wheels for one, but I cant verify this and am kinda skeptical.
