What brakes are people running and what size wheels are you running them with, post your pics

I've got 17's at the moment and im looking to upgrade the brakes to v6 288mm items as at some stage i will want to put smaller wheels (15s) onto the car.

it has been suggested to me to upgrade the brake lines also, is this nessasary? or can I get away with the standard lines?

what reasons do you need them for though? as i would have thought if you are not changing the servo then you wouldnt need to change the lines?

also post your sizes with your pics ideally i want to know what 288's look like under various wheels 17s mainly.

braided hoses make the pedal feel better.

if you don't have them, the brakes will be shite.

Fiat Coupe ones will fit Chris, just need to elongate the holes slightly, then they'll go.
