            Best you'll get in (with a Brembo upgrade anyway) is the 328mm brakes and they only just barely squeeze in.

            That being said, 328mm brembos are plenty good enough.

            edit: I'm no expert, but I suspect you might get larger ones in if you put in a spacer? Might look a bit crap though.

                Do you have to do any sort of recalibration on the brake distribution system settings when a Bbk goes in?
                Presumably the front now bites with more power... is the system smart enough to compensate or are you obliged to break out the vcds?

                  Nope.

                  The main advantage of a bike brake kit isn't harder braking, but harder braking for LONGER (ie no brake fade)... Even OEM brakes can lock up the fronts, and there's no stronger braking than that...

                  What big brakes will do though, is do it hard all day long...... So to speak.
