Yarrr, your looking at around £750 iirc for the kit? Expensive kit!! I think Willsy uses these as well right?

Tarox 6 pots. Actually not rated as highly as hi specs in my experience. Kit costs about the same, replacement disks and pads are more though

i prefer wilwoods
seem to perform just as well as high specs in comparison
just a pain you can only run wilwood pads as far as i can see
where as the high spes run volvo pads so can get a decent choice

Indeed, the Hi Specs have a huge range and are a very good caliper. Would love to change for a set of APs but frankly that would be a pointless waste!

The pistons on them consist of 2 big ones and 4 smaller ones per caliper
tbh hi specs and wilwoods only 4 pots but they have 4 bigger pistons, not much difference tbh
