I'm quite fond of my 2.0 -> 2.6 front brake upgrade which was easy and cheap and bolted straight in, with no dramas. I picked up the callipers and calliper holding brackets from a breakers, purchased new drilled and slotted vented discs and track-day pads. The whole conversion took about 3 hours and I renewed the brake fluid with SuperDot 4 and also changed the steering tie-rods as well.

Combined with A032RS tyres and a good wheel alignment the car pulls-up very hard from high speeds perfectly straight, time and time again.

Its also cool that you can keep your original rims, which can be a problem when you go to much larger full competition brake setups.
