    Cheers for the info lads! All really good stuff, and will definitely refer back here in the future

    Just been doing the sums on my available budgets, and looks like I will have to do the big brake upgrade later. Ghey.
    So will most likely do the Senior p00 $250 vented brake upgrade as a stop gap measure until i can save up for a better upgrade..... which means i wont be hooning around too much initially.

    ... besides, they have a pretty long slow down straight at WSID
    ...... butt scratcher?!

    Evo/Magna setup could be done on the cheap, and would allow for a great upgrade later on with zero effort. Pads can be bought for $40, callipers were $60, rotors can be had cheap as second hand, or fairly cheap new, surely you know somebody with a lathe, which leaves the brake lines and calliper mounts as the only real expense. You can probably get it all together for little more than the $250 of the RA60/MX63 upgrade, but it would require a set of 15's to be added in. Even in the stock form with low end pads and basic disks, it will stop a KE70 pretty farkin quick (designed to pull up an AWD turbo Evo, or a heavy arse Magna people mover)
