Default xy brake upgrades for xy ute

gday matt....i have an xy running 16" american racing rims.the 9" runs drum brakes which i plan to upgrade to disks. i am chasing a track/hi performance street set up with drilled and slotted rotors for looks and performance.

firstly...what do you think is the best aftermarket product for a balance of price,performance and quality.

secondly...what is the max. size rotors i can run with these size wheels

thirdly...what other parts of the brake system will need to be upgraded. everything is stock as it is.

thanks and all the best.

Tomo

Depending if the wheels have the room to go over the brakes we could supply a twin piston caliper with 298mm slotted rotors (largest to fit) for $1500 plus freight which would generally only need atleast 15" wheels and if you wanted more of a race pad then that would be extra.This kit is generally used for street but has been used for some track use in the past.If you are upgrading to disc brake rears then you would need to also change the master cylinder to a 4 wheel disc type. There is also a 4 piston upgrade with the same size rotors but the kit is about $4000 .
