where did you get your 330mm disks/calipers?
V-Tuning do a 305mm kit, perhaps get in touch with them and they might be able to sort you out with a 330mm kit

A Nice set of brembo 4 pot porshe brakes would do you justice mate. Get the kit with a 330mm disc, they come drilled and with s/s hoses they look sweet and you cant complain if porshe use them. Trouble is i think the 330 kit is about 1100 quid! Maybe go for some willwood 4 or six pot calipers if you are lookin for cheaper option 288-300mm discs will stop you just as quick without abs!
www.moptorsportdirect.co.uk often has Wilwwods etc for sell.
If still cant get any go to a DECENT breakers yard and get a set Fiat coupe Brembo's or similar.
