Scott there front twin piston 298mm kits from $1450 up to 4 and 6 piston kits from $3650.The rears are generally left alone but fitting slotted rotors and better pads will improve this.

Scott forgot to mention the rears can be upgraded to 4 piston calipers but is more expensive.

is that with you bolting them on
or just the setup .
Also Braided lines are these a good idea.

Parts only and braided lines are a good idea as they do not flex and break down like the rubber ones do.

Hijack, how much for 4 pots front and rear, pads and braided hoses as a DIY kit (what size are the rotors), are they a pbr adr approved kit?

These are not a PBR kit and the kit is not ADR approved.Once fitted you could get an engineers report done and this 4/4 kit runs rotors from 300mm.The fronts are around $4000 to $4500 with a similar price on the rear as there is alot of work to be done with mounting them and the handbrake set up as well.

ill keep saving for the fronts!, Will just put slotted and better pads on the rear
