I've currently just got standard 1.6 Sport disc and calipers, im wanting to get some bigger brakes but don't really know what i need.
Im only wanting to do it on the cheap, so 2nd hand pref'd. Am i right in thinking i just need disc, pads, calipers and carriers off bigger brakes that are also 4x100? What other work do i need to do to fit them? Cheers

Not really keen on having to get them drilled to 5 stud really mate, rather get a straight forward 4 stud set up. How much you selling them for though?
