More than you need.  You only need the carriers, discs and pads mate.

Cool  :cool: , i will be purchasing them soon just gotta get my insurance renewal out the way in a few weeks  :grin:



Sorry scrap that, you don't even *need* new pads, it's just a good idea to get new ones if you're replacing your discs.

 :grin: :grin: mr b coming up wirth a sensible idea here  :laugh:

I bought those the other day mate - had them delivered last Friday but haven't had them put on yet as I need to get some rears done at the same time. Pay day Friday  :cool:

Here's what I had delivered (again, didn't really need the calipers, but I am going to touch the paint up on my existing ones and see if anyone wants them). Pic doesn't show the pads (they are just standard EBC ones). I am contemplating selling the pads on and buying something a bit better now in hindsight  :undecided: Although I might just stick them on to see the difference the 312 upgrade makes.
