Default XW XY brake upgrade options

Hello,

Just curious as to what XW XY brake upgrade options you have and how much. I'm looking at options as this is the next upgrade I'd like to perform. Currently they are standard discs up front and drums at rear. Rims will be 15" simmons to fit discs in.

I think these kits fit the 15' simmons wheels but i could check.The kit is a twin piston set up with 298mm discs with all components needed and starts from $1250 plus freight thanks.

Generally the pbr calipers and dba rotors are used in the kit but it is just a 298mm twin piston upgrade.

Thanks Floored, been away on honeymoon but back at it now. The brakes on the car are pretty poor but unsure if it is lack of vacuum due to cam etc. Have added a vacuum tank. I have a feeling the booster isn't 100% also. Do you sell recon boosters?

Yes they had either , just be sure to get the right one as mount brackets are different also.
