if your after g60 brakes then they're a set allright!

what did you want to know? if they are worth it? i bought mine with hubs, brand new bottom ball joints, calipers, a new set of pagid fast road pads, no discs for ?75 i think, but i'd say i was lucky. they often come up on pvw's website but the going rate seems to be around the ?120-150 mark so those fall into that range. i'm assuming the drive shafts are a bit more heavy duty so if your local i'd go and wave cash under his nose and see what he does the lot for. what else did you want to know?

for the price you can't beat zimmerman cross drilled and pagid fast road pads. get them from german and swedish. seem to think that combo has won awards? i use pagid pads but have brembo discs. don't think the brembo's are amazing though.
