I already have the 325 mm kit with Girling(???) calipers.
Would I gain anything by fitting the Brembo calipers to this set up, and does anyone know if Ian does them seperately, and at what sort of price??

I reckon you'd only gain IF the Brembo uses a bigger pad, doubtless all the bracketry would be different too!

Yes the Brembo kit can be fitted to your discs , You would need the Calipers and mounting brackets , pads and hoses , the performance would be better because the calipers and pads are bigger ,
Cheers Ian

If you are thinking of changing the calipers , brackets and pads , those parts you take off are no good to anyone on there own , so sell the kit complete and buy a new complete kit , that way you would get more money back towards the cost of the new kit.

The pads are the same width , but are about 20mm longer , they are the Brembo pads for the brembo calipers ?? they are not fitted to any other calipers. Cheers Ian
