18" front and 19" rears

srt front discs cnc grooved with srt calipers

gen 2 front discs on rear matching grooves with srt calipers

daves e brakes

wilwood prop valve

all discs sprayed matt black

now i have proper feel with the brakes like it should have been when it left the factory.

i had 40mm rear upgrade on my last gts but this has made hell of a difference.

100% better than stock and definately better than the 40mm rear caliper upgrade.

bigger wheels will be a must if you fit srt brakes and they fit the arches far better.
check out the rear wing section in the first 2 pictures and the way the tyres fit in the last one

New wheels all round then.
Mine have just arrived too - well..... when I say arrived, I really mean "they're at Heathrow customs" - but they're getting closer every day. bounce

I've gone for 18" Classic CCWs.
They arrived this morning but I'm still tarting around in the garage with other 'stuff' and poor weather means a full photo shoot will have to wait - maybe Germany - Roll on Mendig 2010 (had to get that in). bounce
