Alex (KI11Z) fitted on a set of Brembos, 300+mm rotors are all I know. He will definitely chime in once he sees this

Think if i went to that much trouble I'd be going bigger calipers also, are the TT calipers same as VR6 ones or more pistons / different clamping strength?

I'll be upgrading my brakes soonish, although it will just be slotted rotors, better pads and motul brake fluid.

I'd love a set of AP racing or Alcons, but is it really worth it on a small hatchback??

not unless you have the 280mm's

I'd like to get slotters, but i dont know if i'd gain any power, or just fade resistance.

the plate is probly a stone gaurd. I'd just piss it off.
HSV don't use them when they fit the 4 or 6 piston callipers to the cars.
