Ford Mustang Performance Brake Kit

I brought the above kits and installed rotors and pads. It didn't perform very well, and all the time I was wondering why. Today I found this: isn't the pad too small? There are lots of spaces left on the rotor. What shall I do now?

Nice kit, I'm surprised you say it didn't perform well, should have been some improvement over factory. Not sure if you can buy bigger pads or not,maybe someone is running the same setup and can recommend a maxi pad for maxi stoppage.

Is that kit 14 inch rotors, if so a bigger rotor I would think needs bigger calipers and pads then the stockers. It looks like you definitely need bigger pads at least, bur I'd think the pads that come with the kit should cover the whole rotor. If you do find bigger pads you will probably have o machine the rotors down to even before installing them.

I thought as a kits it should match. I am disappointed,

I'm still confused though. In the pic in the link it looks like the pads should fit the rotors. Did you measure the rotor compared to the stock ones?
