    They are 278mm rear solid discs and they can be changed to 292mm vented as per the V6 and Turbo models. I have uprated my fronts but because of the bias arrangement have not felt the need to do the rears yet.

    Fitting bigger rear brakes is largely a cosmetic exercise & is unlikely to make any difference to brake performance
