Default Brake Upgrade AU III XR8

Hi Matt,

I have Speedy Bullitt's 18x8 on the series 3 XR8, and Speedy inform me that the clearance on these wheels is:
35mm at a 90mm radius from the hub centre to 27mm at a 180mm radius from the hub centre.

They tell me 6 pot Brembo's and 4 pot Brembo / AP Racing won't fit under these wheels.

So I guess my best option now is the 355mm PBR upgrade I've seen mentioned a few times. Can you please let me know what is included in this kit and a price also please, with braided lines if they aren't included?

Could I also get a price on a rear brake upgrade if you think it is worthwhile doing these also?

The car is mostly street driven, but I do like to give it a squirt through the twisties and will do the odd track day in the future too.

Cheers
Brownie
