DAVES BIG BRAKES....

He has just done a kit for the 17" stock rims

Kev,

This is a subject I'm quite tempted by myself at the moment...

Daves Big Brakes do several upgrades, which generally require bigger wheels... However, recently Dave has released details that he is producing a brake upgrade kit which will allow 17" standard wheels to be used. Linky: http://forums.viperclub.org/showthread.php?t=60591...

One of the other guys on the VCA forums does a rear caliper upgrade which is also an option, this is mentioned in the above thread, I have a PDF somewhere with some further information on that if it is any good to you? PM me your email address and, if I can find it, I'll forward it on...

I guess another more basic option, which is something I'm planning on first, is upgrading to slotted discs, JonB at Partsrack is doing a pretty good deal on a full set at the moment, which I'm planning on going for at some point.

All the best
Dave

Ta,

Having spent this years money on new exhausts, filters, baseline service, hard tops, spoilers, gills, plus still need to get the exhaust covers done and the kerbed wheels repaired.

2008 is new tyres, bigger brakes and a roe supercharger.

Could have just brought an SRT10. But I guess you would end up modifying it anyway?
