You can go for Omega B rear brakes.

Complication of installation depends on type of brakes You presently have.
As I understood, if You have later type brakes, then it is almost plug-n-play.
If brakes are of earlier type then You'll have to apply some handjob :mrgreen: But not so hard as well.

Tarox were bought from ebay so payed just 449 pounds for them. i have the early type i suppose because my front brakes were the early type 284mm

that's why D-Man asked about my rear setup...
280mm discs (rear) from Omega B with Omegas rear callippers (40mm) are on my Calibra.
on later type brakes (with 288mm in front) - it should be plug & play.
on earlier type brakes (with 284mm in front) - it needs some machining(so the 'thingie' on which wheel is sitting - goes deeper in bearing) and changing bearings. it might get clearer when you compare rear disc dimensions - for example in brembo catalogue (http://bremboaftermarket.com/) - especially - hub's height.

p.s. sorry for my english - sometimes it's :banging: :whistle:
