Default rear brakes... what size?

Just curious if anyone knows what the standard size of the rear discs are...

as im about to order new rear ones but unsure what size to step up to.


Currently got 355's on the front but looking to either step up to 300's or maybe even 330's.


any thoughts or suggestions ?

mike rainbirds 300mm rear kits are good and retain std calipers around 300 sheets 2 m8 but i suppose it depends on how much cash and what you use your machine for

For a road car MikeR's 300mm kit is the best bet imo as it retains mechanical handbrake facility but if track action is the cars main use a front 4x4 330mm/4pot kit can be fitted to the rear. I have a brand new set of Reylands brackets for doing the conversion if you are after a set.
