Default Brake upgrade

I have gone for 17 inch wheels.

Is there an upgrade on the brakes and calipers that can be swapped straight onto the existing car?

If you changed to P1800e front hubs and 240 rear disc axle you can then fit later Volvo discs. For the front XC90 335mm discs and AP racing CP6600 calipers and make brackets for the callipers. But your wheels will no longer fit.

Kits; someone in the US might sell Wilwood kits ask on Turbobricks.

I have got the rear disc conversion that Brookhouse sold.

I will have a look for the P1800 bits.

Thanks

The wheel PCDs are different from the Amazon to P1800E. If you have a standard Amazon conversion at the rear check out Wilwood brake options for Old Ford’s

Wilwood parts listed here and a guy was making calliper brackets. https://turbobricks.com/index.php?th.../#post-6348870
