I'm not sure if I'm reading that right...

You get carriers, calipers, discs, pads and hoses for £189? That's what the description suggests, however...

KIT INCLUDES

1. Carrier brackets. Manufactured from Billet aluminium for strength and lightness.

2. High tensile cap head fixing screws (allen head bolts).

3. Custom braided hoses complete the kit.

I have read the description and you don't get a full kit. You get a conversion kit to use a porshce calipers (see picture 3) it's the same kit that creation motorsport sell well to my understanding anyway.
