i think i'll be going for some of those in the near future too, probably fit them myself.

just a quick questions, are you able to upgrade the rear brakes too, could you move the front ones you've replaced onto the rear?

I'm not too sure with the rears.  As they only do about 25% of the cars' braking, I've never looked into it, properly.  The rears do look teeny, though.....  Especially under the 18's!

I believe, but I'm not 100%, that the rear upgrade isn't as simple, because you have to change the calipers, too.  I could be wrong, though!
