Default XR8 ute Upgrade

I have a BA MKII XR8 ute with the standard brakes front and rear, solid rotors at the moment.

Was looking at a front upgrade package that would fit in my wheels that aren't brembo compatible.

I've toyed with upgrading the rotors to slotted with better pads but i'm guessing even this wouldn't be worthy enough to pull up something with over 350rwkw?

It depends on how much clearance you have as you may be able to run the BF XR8 front upgrade which is 322mm or the BA GT set up that had stronger twin piston calipers on 325mm. Either of these kits are under $1500 each new or we also have a twin piston 355mm kit that may also fit for about $1850
