the std brakes on the superstrut models are pretty good. Not sure if they fit with non-superstrut hubs etc

They will fit with some minor modification to the rotor and caliper. Send a pm to neo.. or 10k_20v, they've both done this conversion.

Twin pot calipers can be sourced from any ae101 or ae111 with superstrut suspension

Yeah, the s/strut brakes are pretty good. I would suggest changing the fluid to a race type like the 'Motul' brand , Dot 5.1 I think, and upgrade the pads to some EBC Green stuff or Red Stuff versions. A friend of mine has a FXGT race car, 230HP, with the brake conversion and this fluid/pad setup and he seez he has next to no brake fade on the track. I'm goin to do this fluid/pad upgrade very soon on my BZR. :D
Your Opinion Means 1/16th Of Stuff All To Me So Dont Bother Arguing With Me About It As I Just Dont Care.

If you have to go EBC, dont bother with the greenstuff... Redstuff is minimum for the track if you're planning on being out there for any real length of time... Im using Redstuff and get no fade, even when doing 10+ hot laps on the trot at manfield..... and they're perfectly streetable as well, good mid range pad...
