Are you sure it isn't the wheel diameter/brake disk size playing tricks on U?
It true that some disks don't just look tiny, they are. The stock solid rears on the toledo with the 17".

Big discs are not neccesarily the best ones!

Alot of racing machiners will seem to have a smaller disc but with more pots on the calipers etc.

This is to keep the unsprung weight down and improve handling.
