Default Ap 4 Pot with 330mm discs, how much better?

How much better are these compared to a standard 2WD setup?

Do they fit straight on or is a kit needed?

You buy a kit, that then bolts straight on. Make sure your wheels will accommodate the brakes though.

Default Big brake wheels

Hi, 17 inch wheels will be ok but be careful which ones you fit as there is still a chance they will touch the callipers. On mine they only just clear, test fit them before buying if you can.

I get this everyday, don't presume that a big diameter wheel gives the clearance that's needed. If I had to guess though, I'd say that 17" would be ok.
