Thanks guys for ur help and info
BF XR6T or territory rears (328mm disc) are a good upgrade on the rear. You just need to make a 3mm spacer to mount the rear caliper (it goes between the caliper and the hub mount) - everything else just bolts up. You will need factory 17s minimum to clear these brakes.
