Anyone on hear spoken to hi spec ref brakes? I know they supplied a huge set of uprated brakes for a ro years ago so they can do them. Their fast rd setups are very good and all their components are made in house to a high standard, they are based in dartford within throwing distance of the tunnel.

Be worth talking to hi spec as they will just make whatever you want their kits are mainly rd focused so dont tend to get the problems that you do with aps

you can get custom bells and brackets from them so yes but they are big money (some kits 5k plus yikes) and not ideal for the rd as they are designed to be stripped and cleaned on a regular basis although you could probably get brackets to adapt some of their rd calipers to fit. Many cars have them inc mine smile

Porsche Brembos would be good, but they are Radial, so you may have to sort out a whole new hub and suspension leg.
