Vented rear discs? You'll find that when coupled with bigger brakes on the front, your car will feel very well planted and balanced under heavy braking. Of course all will depend on road surface and tyres. Enjoy!  :happy2:

The rear 286mm calipers won't accomodate a 286mm ventilated disc as it's to wide RR. But a drilled one is possible  :P

Over the top mod list ;o)

Just plain solid OEM discs Robin, but upgrading the pads to the brembo HP (supposed to be akin to DS2500 ferodo, but they are road legal)

Nah... I'm just upgrading the pads instead. Easier and cheaper, and I quite like the extra turn in that small rear brakes gives you.

Oversteer braking can be quite 'exhilarating'
