Im thinking about a V6 front Brake setup, obviously I will buy some 288mm disks (will these fit behind 15's) and new pads. so will it be that all i need is the V6 calipers and braided hoses? and everything just replaces what i have already?

u need, calipers, discs, pads, and braded hoses, dont need the hoses but it keeps them from goin spongy!
they will fit behind 15's but it will be tight (see pic below) and it depends on the style of the alloy, but shud go on! they just bolt straight on yeah.

if u get the calipers from a scrappy, give them a service, change all the seals etc, or go to pvd and buy the kit, comes with re-conned calipers
