rear brake upgrade.
 
what rear brake calipers are avalable for a 2wd track escoz, running 300mm disks. need to keep them road legal. so need cable handbrake. got 362mm ap's on front. :top:

would that be suitable for heavy track use.

Yep, I had it on my own 515bhp Sapphire :). Obviously you would need the correct spec pads / fluid for track use :).

hope to be running another 200bhp on top of that. whats the nxt step up in rear brakes. unfortunatly i'm restricted to 300mm disks. thinging more about bigger calipers. like audi RS4. ect.

Why are you restricted to this size? How is the car going to be used?

resticted because of wheel type. mainly track use. some porsche baiting. i want it to be road legal.

Your budget would need to more than treble if you want a decent four-pot calliper (315mm discs minimum, which would fit your wheels if you are having 362mm up front), you would then need a brake bias valve and to use the existing callipers for just hand brake operation if you want to keep it strictly kosher. A lot of expense for a smallish improvement in performance.
