Can anyone recomend best upgrade route for a 280.
Currently looking at hi-spec.

Hi Leigh

Best by far is the Princess 4 pot calipers for the front and green stuff pads with vented disks straight forward upgrade

Thank's chris.

I tried he yesterday.

Also the princess calipers seem to go for over 200 second hand, plus you still need to buy the spacers and disc's may as well pay a litter extra and get new HiSpec ones or AP.

2.8i mk2 granada vented disc and calipers straight fit did this to my old 280 coupe

IMHO Hispec look excellent, but there are some discussions out there on the web (Google it yourself and make your own mind up) about customer service. Thought you should be aware of this. At BBWF07 TVRcarparts said they supplied Hispec upgrade kits and that would seem to answer any problems regarding customer service and dealing with the manufacturer direct.
Unless Steve Heath comes out with a better/more cost effective option I will probably be sourcing Hispec through TVRcarparts when I get to upgrading the anchors.

Important question is... What size wheel are you using to fit the brakes in?

He will be using 15" 400SE wheels.

Are the Granda Mk2 bell's lenth the same. as this my be a cheaper option.
