Yes you can. Very easily. Have you updated your rear brakes?

I think this (whole thread) might be worth reading for all, who want big shiny front brakes:

I have never heard of XYZ before, I am looking at big brake kits for later in the year. XYZ's paper template for fitment is a great idea! Their website is jobby though

@toyracer69 how much did you pay/where can I see a price list?

They weren't cheap but can't remember the exact amount as they were bundled in with a load of work done at Vtec-Direct.

And your not wrong about the website being crap. Plus I have needed to use 3mm spacers to clear my winter wheels(ET50) but all my other wheels are ET45 so plenty of clearance....

Not yet but Andy's ATR race car has the same brakes and pads and Prelude rear calipers and no hand brake on 260mm discs. I'm contemplating upgrading the size of the rear discs to even out the braking performance....

Nice. I have been swithering over 306mm or 330mm KSport's.

I've heard bad things about the quality of K Sport stuff....

Plus people can see these in the flesh at the South Mimms meet.
