TVR 3000m brakes
Discussion
At the Autosport show earlier this year I asked AP what they thought could be done with an M's brakes. They were prepared to look at a front/back disc arrangement with balance adjustment but without servo. From the weight and weight distribution they were confident a good kit could be supplied. I didn't get to costs and haven't got that far yet but personally I would recommend going to a specialist.

The setup I had (along with Ian B and I think Venny had a set) were vented/crossdrilled 280mm discs with AP 4 pot calipers. They were nothing short of astonishing, so I think you will be just fine with a 300mm/AP setup. The 280mm setup would just clear a 14in wheel if there were no balance weights on the inside of the wheel, so you will have an extra few mm clearance with 300mm/15in wheel.
It will take you some time to re-calibrate your brain as to how late you can brake with an M series car!
Best of luck with the car

Late braking is something I've grown used to with the Sagaris and therefore the first port of call for a mod on the M.
