I haven't tried myself, however I will wait for you to try it.Why are you planning on going bigger brakes?You seem to be in the same boat as me. I have the 19" luxuary rims and I dont want to lose them. I just cant justify another set of rims just so I can fit some callipers.The only brake upgrade that will fit the fronts are the xyz brake upgrade at $2250.I have brake shudder at higher speeds and the steering wheel kinda wobles. I have been told that bigger rotors and callipers is only recomended if you going to track the car and get brake fade.Otherwise save your money. A lot of people including my tuner, are saying that braided lines, dba slotted rotars, decent brake fluid and good pads will resolve most of my brake issues.This is my next plan and once I do that, I will let you know the outcome.I still have that mandurah run/cruise planned at some stage or another.I just got to get it organised when me best mate is not at the mines.

Pad and rotor change and now perfect - am sure the pads made the biggest difference.I was in the same boat as you, hating the brakes but wanting to keep my rims. Was so relieved when a simple change totally fixed the issue.

The 325mmx32mm rotors as fitted to B series cars are completely different to stock FG Turbo and run a different caliper too.
