-what's the stock rotor diameter on a 1990 SPG, and how big a rotor can the front and rear wheels accomodate
don't know rotor dia., but I don't think you can go any bigger without different wheels. Search Perf. Board for ideas. Sounds like some folks have retro'd newer 9000 brakes to 900.
- are stainless steel brake lines worth the money?
doubt it, unless you're tracking your car.
- drilled, slotted or solid rotors: experiences, data on stopping distances?
Again, search Perf. Board. Some debate here re: effectiveness of drilled rotors.
- would getting a larger brake cylinder dramatically improve stopping ability?
Not sure you can do this with your ABS. Increasing brake/pad size probably best route to better braking.
My 89 900T, though no race car, brakes fine under all conditions. Maybe you've got a repair issue?? Describe what happened when you hit the brakes...
