Wheel liner's pretty much it for useful upgrades. Are his side skirts totalled by any chance?

So does that mean the driver's side ones are OK?

Default Something a wee bit bigger

Alcon 6 pots over 14" Alcon rotors.

The rears use an Alcon R-Type caliper over an 11" rotor (the A4 fronts were a cheap interim alternative, will probably replace with Colemans or something eventually).

Default stock master cylinder

But I'm sure that I'm about at the limit. The rear calipers actually don't appear to push any more fluid around than stock, but it's a more efficient design than what comes with the car.
