Why are these kits so expensive, its only a braket to move the caliper out, one spacer to open it up and a set of larger disc's, I bought a similar kit for the Fronts of my MGF (did not open the caliper up though) and it was £215.

Surley you can get hold of a pair of disc's with the same stud pattern and someone can get a bracket machined to move the caliper out, its got to be less than £300 all in and really not that complicated!
Or am I missing something?

The cost I guess is in the two piece discs.

I was thinking of one of these kits, but due to price went for Sti brembos, by the time I had sold my old stuff I had the wheels and front brakes for less than the cost of this kit, and I believe they look better, Don't know if they perform better as not tried the Godspeed kit. I did think of making up some brackets to use the sti discs, but found that due to the offset would have needed the sti wheels anyway to clear the calipers so just took the easier route of fitting the full kit. It all depends what you want as the 2 piece discs in the kit would be far better than the std discs that I used.

It's finding a suitable sized disc with the righ offset, centre hole size, stud pcd, thickness. I'm sure one is out there but I've spent ages trawling brake websites with disc dimensions to hand with little success. I imagine something could be machined though.
The cost I guess is in the two piece discs.

Come on someone put the leg work in and work it out for us!!!
