Evening guys.

Have just had the escos mapped (360 bhp ish) and am slowly realising my standard brakes are 'shit ya pants' scary!!!

whats the best conversion to fit under standard 16" escos rims??

When I looked into this I found you could get 310mm disks to fit with the standard calipers & original wheels. Thats a big leap over standard & it doesn't look to dissimilar to the original setup, my plan was to fit this lot:

310mm Grooved disks.
Braided hoses, full car set.
SRF fluid.
New calipers Preferably or recon.
DS2500 pads.

job done.
