Do you know what the upgrade over the BF MKII XR6 was and would you recommend that upgrade or an equivalent that you do?
I'd like to beef up my brakes but I'm not neccessarily looking at a full Brembo kit if you follow me. Slotted front rotors, braided lines and maybe DOT 5 fluid with some good pads?
Thanks
The difference in the brakes on the XR6 and XR6t & XR8 are

XR6 front rotors are 298mm and rears are 316 solid disc

XR6T & XR8 Front rotor 322 and rears 328 ventilated disc

I have these on my BA and the difference in braking was quite amazing. I also put braided lines on mine.

Unless you were going to be doing track days there would no need for anything bigger than this setup.

Give Matt a call on Monday, he is back from holidays then and he will be able to sort you out.
