Stop being tight and either buy the Godspeed kit or a different aftermarket 4 pot setup. You will be lucky to anything for £300! At a minimum it will cost 400-700.

Only thing for 4 pots is the 335mm Godspeed kit, they are very impressive. Or you could buy replacement discs and get top spec pads like,pagids, performance friction, carbotech etc which will cost around £150-£200+. So the choice is yours.

I'm sure we can sort out a weekly payment scheme for these beauts Carl....lol






Serious note,
Decent set of discs and pads coupled with a re-fresh of decent fluid can make the world of difference for not a huge outlay.

Completely agree

My standard 4 pots with Carbotech XP8's were almost as good as my AP 6 pots with DS2500's
