Mine is fitted with Tuscan brakes from Hans - great guy to deal with, the brakes went on without any issues and work very, very well.

This is his email address mate hamada@kpnmail.nl and he will give u a price
I'm going for the 283 mm Discs grooved kit that fits the 15 ins fronts with ferodo DS2500 pads
As I've been told by others that the mintex pads tend to squeal a lot .

I have the above setup ,might be selling them with the yellow stuff pads .probably done 500 miles on the road .

Im going to buy the same setup with 300mm discs .Mine look a little small under 17" rims .

Damn ... I would rather keep my standard 15" fronts than go to 16's as I like the look of the 15/16 wheels.

I think the 283`s fit under a 15" wheel .

They do - but the brackets I have for the four pot Brembos are for a 324mm disc and *WON'T* fit under a 15" rim...

Anyway - too late now as the 16's should be back from being refurbed tomorrow or Tuesday. smile

I got a pair off Hans to fit under the std wheel, works well, I would say avoid the mintex pads as i ended up changing mine after two weeks (waiting for hispec to get stock) as they squealed REALLY badly. Ferodo on there now, get a little squeal under light braking but a lot better than the mintex ones i gave up with.

They look the business
Would you mind messaging me roughly what they cost as my rusty jobs are showing up my new paintwork now as they peak through the alloys of my Chim now frown
Thanks

I have the same but want to upgrade to the 300mm discs. They look so small under a 17" wheel .

He also sells a larger caliper to go with ether bells or 300 discs .
