Ed,
couple of wee questions for ya..
8Pot Front costing £799...but 6Pot Rear costing £799..???
1.) Why not 8Pot Rear costing £799
2.) Will those of us who have classics have the same problem fitting the rear 6Pot Calipers as fitting 2Pot Rear Brembos??? we'll need a kit from Iain Godspeed, due to the handbrake shoes and the bracket need to get around this problem
because if i were to change the fronts i would change the rears too! so what Group Deal would you do for us if we order the complete set (front and rear)? do you except paypal as a method of payment.
Regards
Wayne

Yes the Fronts and Rears come it at the same price for the kits.
I am not sure about the rear handbrake problem. As these are designed as a direct replacement on the classic models you should be fine without having to modify them. I have checked the rear Discs and the drum where the shoes fit is the same as the Classic discs.

These come in 6 pot or 8 Pots and are rated just as good as the AP setups. The technology has been proven all over with Time attack and various other race / drift events. In fact our new cars for the 2009 Drift season will be running D2's front and rear

The Newage STI (brembo's) have the larger inner diameter drums and the bigger back plates for mounting the calipers on same as the Type R's (the ones with 2 POT rears).
That why the brackets made for fitting classic 2 POT rears and brembo 2 POTS to a UK or WRX classic are the same.
Personally i'd just fit the Newage brembo's on the rears (direct replacement on a type R) and have the calipers painted to match the colour of the front calipers

The fitment for a Type R should be the same as a Newage STI AFAIK
