You can get a Hi Spec kit that utilises an ATE (2.0) brake set up. It spaces the calipers out a bit more so you can use bigger disks. I think it's what Iaz has on the Jag Corsa... Thats the next cheaper option because with a 2.0 enigne the 2.0 brakes are actually a bit shit... Or are you having a 1.6 now?

the reyland's are fine but they need to be warm for best results.... ask yourself.. do you actually need to spend £700 on brakes? also if you a fan of nice shinny alloys then kiss them goodby cos these things give off some craszy amount of dust....

Yea, they are made for road use - cast steel calipers with sutable dust seals. SHould be pretty simple to keep maintained.

Reylands are AP Racing and I'm not sure how good they are for road use...
