Neil, we're still working out the brakes. The reason that I'm exploring going up in size is twofold. The last time I drove the car back at the end of 2010 I was doing a raceshop trackday competition which we had to use R spec tyres. We made a last minute adjustment to the geometry (reduced castor) as I also wanted to try out a set of slicks that were on other wheels after the event. This caused the car with the R specs to understeer pretty badly into and through the corners. However when we switched over to the slicks (Hoosier R100 265/645 18" all round) I not only noticed a dramatic increase in turn in (so much so that I kept stuffing up my corner entries based on the day's previous pig understeering on the R specs) but an amazing ability to brake a lot later. However to add to this with the increased corner speed afforded by the slicks, there was also increased workload placed on the braking system. (That system was Big Reds, Performance Friction pads, s/s lines, SRF fluid, 2 piece slotted rotors on the front. Mo30 stock rears with same brand pads.) After only a few short laps playing with a modified EVO my pedal was getting longer and softer and wouldn't have been able to go much further. Thankfully he was also suffering similar probs and spun the car in front of me which allowed me to slow and cool the brakes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xSnau43PiE With all the changes to this car which will eventuate in it being considerably quicker (If not, where's the Luger!) and place more stress on the brakes again. I have a set of 997 Cup Calipers but it maybe that they work on 380mm rotors. I am trying to find out the specifications of the current 2011 Cups and if they can run a smaller rotor. We can get custom hats and rotors made up but need to know if they can run smaller discs. Re the internal hardware/lines etc. It will be made to comply with our Governing body (C.A.M.S.) although I haven't heard of having to cover suspension canisters before? I wonder if that is being just a little too over zealous from the Safety control? Benny, not sure that the budget will stretch to BBS wheels just now. I'm happy with the current Fikse wheels. The 19" Techart knockoffs are just a whimsy. Although I do remember with fondness those old Black and Gold cars from back in the day. JPS specials were much sought after and I was a fan too.
