Just emailed them and they do a 6pot full front kit (pads, bells & rotors, mounts, bolts, braided lines and calipers) for £1200 8O

Which by my book, is a pretty awsome deal.

Just wandering what people think of them?

Can brakes be too big? They'll more than likely be fitted while it's still a NA 1.8 until I finish my super charger which hopefuly will be 200BHP

I'm not sure what you'd have to do to the master cylinder to get the correct pedal travel and feel (i.e. so it doesn't just go to the floor or need an elephants foot to make any effect).

Also, if the fronts are that powerfull, it may be worth thinking about doing something to the rears too to give a better brake balance.

If your going to that price, then you might as well add 50 quid and go for the ap 6 pot kit instead.

It is the 6 pot :) They don't do a 4 pot for the E30


I've bought 4 pot Wilwoods now any way :)
