Sure you can go safe with those rotors. Its no 330mm but are still larger than OEM ones.
With this option you will change the BIAS of the brakes to the front as the upgrade that you have (350mm in front) is larger in % than the 320 of rear you are planing. Plus if you have change front calipers with 6pot you are having way more power and more bias to front/rear than wanted. Usual brake for fd is 68-38 but if you are planning to throw the ABS something like 65/35-64/36 is better, as the weight distribution of your car remains at 50/50

Well they are 4 piston evo x brakes
So do you think that will be better to go to a bigger ones on the rear
Like 330 or 340mm?
To be fair Racing Brakes are a little bit overpriced
So i will prefeer to do my own setup and go for something bigger.
My goal was install the biggest brakes on 17" wheels

Well the Exo X calipers are very good choice but there are not as powerfull as most of Brembos 6pots due to lower overall piston capacity.. They have 38 & 44mm pistons which are about 25% more of the diameter of FD's OEM calipers(33.9 & 38.1mm), thus almost 25% power!!!The main difference is that can accomodate larger diameter rotors thus you "feel" that are way better than FD's!!. Stock FD has 294mm rotor which is about 20% less than the one that you are using. So 25% larger pistons and 20% bigger leverage give us about 50% better brake outcome in front. SO you want something for rear set up to balance this. If you are going to upgrade only the disk diameter, thus the leverage, you must have 50% larger rotors than stock, which give us 450 disc diameter!!!!
Anyway the evo X are good calipers for 17wheels, Try to find some two pistons rear calipers with pistons size about 38mm to keep the brake bias stable, but then you had to find handbrake calipers!!
Yes Racing Brakes is overpriced with no reason. As i have use many different disks my first choice is Brembo and then Alcon rotors, had bad results with Tarox, Willwood and AP rotors!!

Yep you are right but i change the suspention setup and with that there was less weight tranfer between rear to front , so i the rear brakes use to tend to lock.
That exactly my point i want to keep the handbrake
Probably the best way to deal with that will be try to install some 350 or 360mm on the rear
But there is not many available 350 or 360 by 20mm on the market

Some photos today. Everything installed perfectly.
From a quick test drive the Ohlins are PERFECT..i cannot describe how good they are. At 10 clicks fron stiffest point the feeling was just like a Mercedes but the stability was like train. Brake power is awesome. Perfect for street/track even i am not using ABS.

I am still having a 12mm spacer...thus the wheel is quite to the edge of the fenders.
From the quick test the tyre hit the inside fender a little bit. I cannot solve this thing at the moment. I should stiff the rear suspension 2 clics or i will lift the rear end 3-4mm. In the future i would change the offset of the wheel either with new lips or with adding a "spacer ring" below the center of the rim

I changed them for a set of Alcon calipers with AP racing rotors as the AP's are more durable,more responsive and cheaper to replace. They require less miles to get them in the right temperature and the brake power is better at this point. The drawback is that in a very tight track they overheated more easy than ceramic and the weight is significant higher.
As i can understand money is no issue for you and you are willing to build something hot and exotic than a track/street weapon. If so ceramics are they show/go way for you
The bodykit seems to be something like GT300?I can see details from Revolution also?Give us more details on the bodykit

I paid like close to 7 grand for them brake set. For the widebody which I'm working it have similar look to the GT300 and for the style as I work on it I sometime intend to change the look on it as I moving along.
