HiSpec rear brake conversion.
I picked the car up today after the new rear brakes had been fitted.
I went for the 300 x 20mm vented rear disk with the twin pot caliper.
Unfortunately they couldn't fit their latest caliper with external handbrake module between all the bars of the rear wishbone so I went with their existing caliper that has the handbrake integrated.
It took them a while to fit as they needed to figure out the new handbrake cable and take measurements to enable them to sell the kit mail order for self installation.
There is plenty of clearance with the 17 inch wheel and even more with the 16's.

I have only driven home with the rear kit, but I've done about 6k since the fronts were installed.
They have been awesome, a couple of track days, Nurburgring laps as well as 4k around some fantastic roads in Europe and they haven't shown any signs of fade!

I agree - my car stood up to some testing braking conditions at Rockingham recently. I'm sure that with the rear conversion fitted too, the braking power will be awesome.
