No problems but can you tell me a few things so i can narrow down what we can do.What size wheels do you have and what you will be doing with the car and how much you have budgeted for this.

You could run the BF XR8 front brakes which would set you back about $1500 with braided lines,slotted 322mm rotors,calipers and decent pads.The other option is to go to a 4 piston kit with 330mm rotors and that will cost you about $3150

Basically the cheaper kit is better than the ones you have on the car now but the dearer kit is better than the cheaper kit.(lol)
If you have the money ,the dearer 4 piston 330mm kit is going to have the best braking for you as they are better designed and will have way better stopping power and shorter stopping distances.The alternative kit that is cheaper is still a twin piston caliper like what is on the car now but will run with the larger 322mm disc rotor and will be a better option than the factory brakes you run now.
You can ring me during the day if you like on 02-9609 1101

Thats correct but they are designed to suit the 298mm disc and will not fit over the larger rotor.The XR8 and XR6T version which is what we base the cheaper kit off has 322mm rotors and the caliper is designed to fit this size.

Ah i didnt know the BF xr8s had 2 different rotor sizes, thanks for the info mate.

The only upgrade you can fit is the AP Racing 4 pot and that is $3150 plus fitting.If that is over what you want to spend i would suggest the dba 4000 series rotors and DS Performance pads that will set you back about $1300 all round plus $220 fitting.
