4 pots prefferably.

I have a custome setup ive been trying to get together but its proving to be a lot of hassle and more expensive than i initially thought.

I want to hear your suggestions for brakes

I have about £800-900 to spend, the cheaper the better. But i dont want to skimp on quality. As i mentioned has to be4-pots.

I have contacted Hi-spec and their kit seems to be about £1k all in.

Tarox do like six pots for £1400 but thats silly money really.


Any suggestions? Its for my calibra btw, which is 5stud

Stay away from billet 4 pots as yours is a daily driver. Godspeed to a steel 4 pot set up in your price range though.

Do they have to be brand new?

I just acquired some 335mm rotors with ally bells, Wilwood 4 pots and pads, braided lines for the front and 280mm rotors with ally bells, Wilwood 4 pots and pads for the rear.

They cost me substantially less than what your budget is.
