Jonny,
Having run 330's with Brembo's for many years, as you know, I'd say they are massive overkill. Fancy yes, but really not needed in my opinion.
If I was going to do it again from scratch, I'd go for 300mm discs and simple Brembo or AP 4-Pots, or similar.
As soon as you get into 330's, 17's become a must really and the extra 30mm of brake disc size just isn't worth having to run 17's IMO.
As for looking fancy, I think 300mm discs with 4-Pots look proportionally as good as 330's do behind 17's.

ive got cossie 4 pots atm with a 278mm disc but they will need replacing soon enough this setup has been bang on for me and i can retain the 15" wheels,great for handling etc...but due to how the conversion has been done i need the custom discs and bells making up and for a bit more cash outlay i could have an ap/porsche setup but then i would need to fit bigger rims which im not keen on,looks like i may be sticking with the 4 pot setup

Ive also got the cossie brake upgrade all round but dont think its that good? Does anyone upgrade the brake servo when you upgrade the discs and calipers? or is mine just shot hence why it doesnt feel that great?
