There isnt much available for the telstar.
Best bet would be a set of slotted rotors from DBA, which arent much more than standard ones and a good set of pads.
I have seen yanks doing 4 piston calipers etc, but that is completely custom type stuff. |

In terms of discs you may want to look bigger and see a brake conversion specialist, these type guys, usually work on Race cars, so don't think about some guys who says he's a brake specialist and the only best thing he's done is change the pads on a Merc
Ford Au -onward Faclon now uses Mazda/nissan stud pattern so we maybe able to use there discs.
Also no matter what calipper you use if it's not factory it will have to be on a custom mount.
something to ocnsider is soem of the Twin piston Falcon / Holden upgrades for older models . do the maths these things pull down a a 1500 KG within about 40meters at 100k's on a 1200kg they should do a lot better with bigger discs and size less weight shoudl do the trick.
Of course I personally think Z32/R33 4spot Nissan calipers and discs should do the job alot better and more consistant.
