Martin, yes they will & the 330 kit will be just fine (this is what I have on my car). But, like I said, I would consider trying the disc / bell set up 1st as it will cost you a lot less. If you are feeling flush however, go for it

Good thread this. Just be careful with AP 6 pots and 17" wheels - they won't all fit. Just had some fitted to my car (AP 6 pot/Godspeed discs) and Prodrive P1 17s won't go over them. Team Dynamics Pro Race 1 will, Pro Race 1.2 won't. Ultralite A-Tec 17s will. Bit of a minefield!

Would agree with that .... I have Godspeed 335mm discs and AP 6 pots under Speedline RB5 wheels and the clearance is minimal to say the least .... both between the edge of the caliper and the inside rim of the wheel and between the front of the caliper and the back of the spokes of the wheel!

Would strongly recommend the AP's though!!

disc/bell set up -is that the strap drive ap system or the dba 5000 can you explain more thanks,i never feel flush but dont see point in spending ~£600 and then having to get ap's after,do you have 17" wheels?

Godspeed also do the disc and bell set up for the Brembo's , I think there about £350 a pair , I dug out a pic here

The only problem when I looked into the AP ones is that they use a machined down pad to fit as the width on the discs where tha pads sit is narrower to allow for the straps , so I think the braking power would be less than standard as your losing quite a bit of pad material
