Over 300 but you'll have caliper issues before then without the right wheels.

You can get 308's under 16" sri's but that's with vxr calipers, not sure about multi piston ones. But I'd say 330's under 17's

im wanting bigger 4 pots as yesterday highlighted the fact that 300mm might be ok on the road but due to speeds achievable on straights, theyre quite under powered to slow the car down etc.

324mm discs. I'd say 330's max but as mentioned it depends on the caliper & wheel design.

make sure your drums didnt overheat as mine got cooked on track. might be them letting you down more than the reylands if you have been having brake fade.

Drums definitely were beyond hot. All paint has burnt off. First reason for rear discs discovered?

Yeah well over 300's. You can get 312's comfortably under 17's on VAG cars anyway

yeah i ended up putting rear discs on mine but not had chance to give them death on track to test them out properly yet. pedal deffo feels better at speed tho.
