What are the specs on them? Didn't think there was much point upgrading over the stock brakes and calipers as better pads, lines and discs work fine on a lightweight car.

I like those. Hanbrake issues solved? More stopping power. Look great. What more could you want? Price?

I believe he's only done the fronts, so no handbrake to worry about. They're about £700 IIRC, fronts only, about the same again for the rears. Rears claim to reduce handbrake efficiency and aren't recommended for road cars!

100% in agreement.
Can't be any worse than what I've got ATM.
Freaky parts 599 for the fronts and 799 for the rears I think.
