I picked up the new, note NEW, not reconditioned, calipers today, all 4 for £200.

They came with OE pads.

Going to do braided hoses as well.

Now I need to think about discs and possibly pads.

What discs do you have, which pads?

I went for the cheapest deal on ebay(plain discs and standard pads) and am happy with the quality.
Mind you, come the second week in January all things will change.:yesnod:

Yep, brake upgrades to be fitted then. I will take photos of the fitting and let you all know about my initial findings.

For the time being I'm going to stick with the standard discs and pads, with new calipers and braided hoses they should already better than they were and I don't have any plans for power upgrades and I normally find the limits of the tyres before the limits of the brakes.
