looking at these and thinking are they worth it, or would getting spaces and Tuscan S disc's be just as good?

Or would SP12 wheels see more benifit to the cars dynamics?

You can have too much braking at the front. TVR S/RR spec with the correct fluid, hoses and pads is more than you'll need.

There are cheaper options that will still look good thru open alloys, if thats what your after plus the benefit of better brakes without messing up the front to rear bias.

Yes mixture of both really, looks and better braking. I would be happy with moving the std calipers out and using a larger Tuscan S disc. Just need the spaces I think. Using the Ap5200 I believe, they are the ones with six bolts through the caliper and the central sliver one?

Destroyed my front brakes on my Tuscan2 on a track day recently, couldn't get the original disks replaced as they are no longer available so upgraded to the larger S spec (i believe), new pads and caliper holder thingy.... still feel just as good as the original brakes and i'll let you know how they perform under duress after Rockingham...

Does anyone have a pic or link to the a TVR page that shows the radial mounting brackets for the caliper and there sizes or the ones TVR Power sell to space out the caliper for a larger disc?

Note worthy....if you want a full RR brake upgrade, its rears as well, and that can become expensive. S/RR brakes will not cope with "enthusiastic" track day use unless you do the pads, fluid and hoses as well.
