M series Front Brake Upgrade

Has anyone got any experience of upgrading the front brakes on a late M series car? Does anyone know where kits are available for vented disks and 4 pot calipers that will fit within a 14" wheel?

Gary, thanks for the article on the toyota brake conversion. I will have a look in greater detail at this but it looks interesting.

Has anyone carried out this conversion and if so do you have any comments?

Colin, I would really appreciate it if you could try some 14" wheels on your car and let me know if they are ok. Are you please with the coversion you carried out?

I looked at the Cambridge Motorsport conversion, but they state it is only compatible with 15" wheels. I really want to keep the original 14" split rims on my car. Although I am happy to upgrade the mechanicals for better performance I want to keep the overall car appearance standard.

Colin, thanks for trying the wheels. The brakes certainly look promising. I will get a copy of the data sheet off the web site and do some calculations.

Thanks again.
