    Default Big brake kit.

    Would there be any interest in a big brake kit for the vectra? Both myself and paul667 have been looking into a bigger setup for our gsi's. We want 6pot 330mm+ for less than 1k.

    I'd want bigger discs than 330mm, VXR's come with 345's

    Would be better off using the VXR's 345's and match them with 4 pot callipers

    VXR brakes use a cast single piston caliper so wont enjoy the punishment i intend to give them on track and they'll simply overheat.

    You can get a big KSport kit for the Vectra, think it is about £900 and is bigger than the standard VXR setup.
