Yeah if you buy direct from HiSpec they're cheaper, and if you ask them nicely they may sort you out some sort of discount like they did with me

Me thinks people only go for them because there advertised all over the place and come in pretty colours.
As dave said, theres much better out there.

What a set devleloped by V sports 
I had a set reconditioned by them and they were top dog, they are a fair price for billet calipers and they have dust seals which makes them suitable for road use.
Willwoods are also good but do not have dust seals and are very noisy, so tell me Dave what else can you get that works this well for the £400 Wich are Billet, come with rotars and decent pads?
Rules out:
Tarrox
AP
Reyland (which are AP's)

Hispecs arent £400 for a start.
look at Compbrake stuff. better discs and lighter calipers for less money.

io spoke to combrake a few months ago and the prices on there kits wasnt all that good to be honest.
The Reyland/AP setup seems to get good fedback as do wilwoods
I would however suggest looking into pedal boxes, I think you would gain more with a compbrake pedal box and a set of v6 brakes than you would with just a set of 4 pots.
