PHer plasticman has fitted bigger brakes off an Aston, not sure of the details but if he doesn't come along shortly you could ping him a mail.

jools at trackcar does a 330mm upgrade i believe but you need to have bells on your discs now for it to work or he can source you some

Who's website is that? £1500 sounds like a stonking deal for new discs and 6 pots!

plasticman also uses different rear uprights to give a proper handbrake (or so I am told).

Daz did yo peak to Paul about this confused, cheapest option is a spacer with bigger bells and braided hoses. Gucci is bigger calipers and bells, but make sure the bells are of a size that are easily sourced for repairs later.

edited to add by bells I mean bells and discs hehe
