I would have thought wilwood from rallydesign.

Ring them up and ask them the full kit price, as depends on the discs/pads you go for

Not really anywere else cheaper for some 4 pots mate

i had wilwoods for my saxo and they were great although if i was to get some again id buy them with plain discs and not the smart pads, go for one of the poly ones or even better dont buy pads from them and just get the mintex ones from merlin motorsport

i used the ebc yellows in mine and were great.

Had mintex m1144 in them, but wore them out in a day :afro:
The cheap smart pads lasted ages and braked better round a track then the m1144.

Try the poly E pads they are meant to be good, i think its the E. I created a thread about it ages ago have a look.
Go for the plain discs too ;)

when i did mine about a year after pread, iirc it was around £450ish or something including everything apart from brake lines.

Why are people saying to go for plain discs may i ask?
Ive heard about the discs cracking between the drills but surely thats only alot of hard track use that does it?

I had plain discs, did loads of track days and ring trips and hardcore sunday blasts on them.

Went through 4 - 5 sets of pads too before needing to change the discs. Never actually changed the discs.

Apart from the standard pads and mintex m1144, never had any problems with those 4pots. They were awesome for the money, actually thinking about getting them for the ek.

The cut discs are pointless imo and make a weird noise when braking. They are really expensive to.

Yep try a group buy its been a while since we had one, im very sure people on here and 106oc will be interested and i tihnk you only need about 5 people to qualify for one

Was about the same price as you steve, got lines, calipers, carriers, discs and pads for about the 450 mark maybe cheaper actually

Imo grooved loses friction, might keep the disc cool but i think if i had plain discs and better pads they would of been ten times better, dont get me wrong grooved with smart pads were still bloody good

Thats the kind of info i was after cheers guys. Will speak with Scott @ Rally design tomorrow and see what the score is I may try a group buy if it save's me a decent amount for the hassle involved with timewasters on here lol.
Was going to have the plain discs but unsure of pads was going to try the yellow stuff r's i think they are recommended by ebc for 4 pots, anybody had any experience with these?

yeah me, after having loads of people telling me not to get them...

Never had an issue, they are cheap. Have a bit of a wooden feel even in 4pots.
But get better with heat in them, fine for the road and i find them great on track.
Search through my old posts i have done a bit of writing up on them before.

For the price you cant go wrong.
