Default Brakes

I just took my car to audi to have the 50000 mile check up and they told me that my front suspension is broke on the left and the right and i need to replace my brakes. i have 15 inch rims and was wondering what r the largest brakes that i can put on my car. also if i got 17 inch rims what brakes would you recomend?

but u will need bigger rims for sure if you want to do a big brake upgrade you could just get slotted rotors if you like that are the same size as what u have now but being slotted they will disapeat heat better than stock and they will fit behind your stock 15" wheels

Unless you are doing some heavy duty braking, why do you need slotted rotors. They certainly are going to shorten your pad life a lot more than they will shorten your stopping distance
