As most are aware, the T1/2 TS/TL aka Rebel wheel is limited in the "X" factor department... the PBR caliper is about as much as you can go without custom bell offset and brackets to suit.

However you could PM Matt from Race Brakes, he was looking at doing a 355 x 28mm rotor back here: http://www.fordforums.com.au/showpos...00&postcount=1
