Default Looking for big brakes 12 or 13" for my Caravan

I have an '07 Caravan - already modded with OBX header, full 2.25" flowmaster exhaust system, 1 chamber Super 40 muffler, SS Camero exhaust tip and 20 inch shoes with 245/35/20 Kuhmo rubber, aftermart 22mm front and 25.5 rear sway bars, 11" Grand Caravan rear disc brakes.

- The 20" wheels and tires are really hard on the front 11" brakes - Anyone know of a 12 or 13" front brake kit that will fit on my Caravan? The rear 11" brakes should be just fine. Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Who said a Caravan can't be a little sporty.

I don't know af any kits but this summer I am going to look for parts to put bigger front brakes on mine. I want a 12" rotor and Wilwood 4 pot calipers.

IMO the stock brakes leave a lot to be desired. With the v-rated tires I have the brakes do not stop well enough. In a panic stop I feel like something is pushing me. There is no way that I could get the ABS to work on dry pavement. I already have drilled/slotted rotors and carbon/kevlar pads which have made a big improvement but they are still not good enough. I guess I am spoiled by the brakes on my Porsche and other project cars I have had with bigger brakes. The brakes on my 2600# Porsche are bigger than the ones on this 4000# minivan.
