If any of that helps you out LMK , if not i'll keep em for rally spares.
Those won't help, but thanks for the offer.

The only brakes bigger than the ones on the SVX are the STi Brembos or aftermarket calipers (except maybe the new LGT or Tribeca brakes... I don't know). The problem is that the SVX's calipers have a lot of flex to them, so they feel squishy, and can slide around on the rotor to contact the tophat and make horrible grinding noises.

I may just have something wrong w/ my particular brakes that's fixable, I just haven't figured it out and I'd rather sort out some bigger brakes than fuss w/ the small ones on the car.
