    Being a 2.2 you'll have 285's front 278's rear

    For the fronts you can have 302's (fitted to 2.0 turbos and early v6's)
    314's (later V6's)
    345's (VXR's)

    For the back you can go up to 292's (available on all of the above)

    You'll need calipers and carriers (as well as discs and pads) to upgrade

    I have the 314mm upgrade front and 292mm rear and have to say i'm well impressed with the braking over standard and would recommend it to anyone who wants improved braking which is clearly noticable.
