Default Front hub suggestions

Hi,

I'm trying to put together a shopping-list for a bit of a project I'm thinking of.

Anybody have any suggestions for a decent (but cheap) pair of lightweight front hub/disc/caliper assemblies from a RWD car?

The project I'm thinking of will be a super-lightweight track vehicle and use wishbone suspension.
Good brakes are important and the potential to upgrade the calipers would be a bonus.

It's just occurred to me that I should probably go and have a look at what people are using in their 7-type vehicles but any specific suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers.

If your looking at pure RWD, the at the minute, it seems Sierra or BMW is your choices.

But going mid engined.. Any 4 pot maybe front engined donor....
