Default Next best to brembo 6/4

hi there, I have a series II AU fairmont ghia and I have just put some koya kahns on it, 20 x 8.5 front and 20x10 on the rear. I have feeling brembo's are'nt going to fit but don't know for sure yet till I try the wheels on a car with brembo's. So if they wern't to fit whats going to be the next best performing brake package thats going to work.

Cheers Wayne

Wayne it depends on how much clearance you do have as you may get away with a 330mm rotor and 4 piston ap racing calipers or even a twin piston caliper and 330mm rotors for the front and std BA for rear possibly.

Rightyo, so if I find out how much clearance I

have now with the factory calipers to the rim

would we be able to determin what option I have.

I know the Koya Royals fit big brakes but looking at my

Kahns it looks tight

I don't believe they will clear the Brembos due to the dish on them.
There were some guys discussing them here, might pay to PM mattyb and see what he came up with?

05 ENFORCER is a great help and the thread we have for wheels that fit brembo is also a good read for wheels.
