I'll let you know how I go with the brakes. The 2 piston PBR calipers might just be a little too large(high) on a 310mm rotor to fit under the 15" rims. 4 piston calipers make it a lot easier, they are not as high above the rotor, but they stick out further in the front. There are also some great wide-eared Wilwood calipers that will fit nicely and are easy to adapt. Just haven't quite got it all sorted yet and weigh up the pros & cons of the different caliper choices.

I'm also chasing smaller caliper piston capacity on the front to get brake balance right. I currently have Jag 4 piston and they are way too large in piston capacity for my current setup. PBR calipers are better, but not small enough. Skyline is very close, but a touch on the small side with 310mm rotor, they would suit around 290mm rotor perfectly. I can dial the Wilwoods in perfectly for 310mm rotor, so that sways the argument towards Wilwood. Thought I might as well kill two birds with the one stone.
