Brakes under std MCS 17s

I'd like to get a (much) more powerful brake kit for my 2003 MCS but don't really want to invest in new wheels just yet.

Are there any decent brake kits that fit under the standard 17's?

Cheers,

Jae

if not jcw to stay oem, [ have head odd thing things about swiss law?] try wilwood, if you can use spacers you have lots of options at 17" even with oem wheels

I have the AP kit and they are great for fast road use, they will fit but you will need a spacer!
