I got a good deal since I've spent a bit of money down there in the last week.
yeah 800 was a good price as it was 2 years ago and i cbf and dont have the tools.

its a very worthwhile mod. but then again if u put bigger and better rotors + good pads it will be as good as 4 pots.

Well the 2 pots I had with new Ferrodos, where nowhere near as good as these 4 pots are with stock pads ...

That. I used the same set of Ultimates for at least 6 motorkhanas, 1 hillclimb and 1 driver training day, with daily street use in between all that (at least 20,000kms), and still had 50-60% pad left - rotors were almost new, didn't look chewed at all.

Then again, there is someone who managed to completely wear out a set of ultimates in 5000kms on the street.

Maybe it's just the difference in driving and braking style.

I think they where around 400 bucks

2 pot, but 316mm rotor... so compared to standard liberty fare, not too shabby at all.
