**Gsi3.2** · 1st July 2008, 21:57

all depends.. i did swear at it when i had to brake hard ( artic stopped dead behind a blind corner) and it seemed to help..

..but the foot did play it's part as well..

the 345's also fit under the pre-face 17's twin-spokes and clear the balance weights

I read with interest and am still a little confused. Please can you help by answering the following;

The brakes are, without doubt, fluff and nonsense as standard. Can I upgrade to "VXR spec" (ie VXR Discs, calipers, pads and mounts) and is this a straight forward bolt on replacement?

Will "VXR spec" fit inside 17" rims?

How does your recent upgrade differ from "VXR spec"?

Kind regards,

Splund,

Well you should have the 314's as standard mate if your running an 07 v6. There not shy in there own right. You could try upgrading to Police spec pads, bit more dust from all accounts but do a cracking job.

The whole VXR setup will just bolt on but are very expensive, ive you have any engineering skill then I dont see why you couldn't do what Mark did.
