Also interested in review on the 330mm kit.  I am in Aus and I currently have TD 1.2's 17x8 ET48mm and  looking to improve brake dept. 

I have checked the Alcon 343mm template to fit all ok, the VWR 356mm kit template doesnt look like it will fit.  I assume the forge 330mm will fit. 

The alcons/AP are pretty expensive for me.  I have looked more at USA suppliers due to good exchange at the moment. 

Have also looked at the ecs stage 3 343mm 6 pot kit ($1695 US) and the the Forge 330mmm kit ($1599 US).  Also looked at the stoptech 328 kit ($1899 US).

Looking for suggestions on which suppliers to check out in the UK and any other ideas worth looking at for front bbk kits up to 343mm size say 4 pot, other than brembo at this stage.

Thanks in advance.

Also been told that the 330mm setup is heavier than stock?

Can anyone confirm?
