   Its priced for the pair. They priced competitively - not because they are a bad product.

   the brembo disks are good but you pay a premium for them!
   
   These will improve brake performance over the standard disks. The Saxo Carbonne Lorraine range is on our site.
   VTR rear pads...

   I think later model VTRs use the same disks and pads as the VTS don't they. Someone will confirm.

   right ok then i guess the hose kit will sort all the brakes out with braided lines? how much brake fluid is needed i would of thort 2 bottles off your website so that would be 1 litre? ive worked out that to do all the brake discs, pads, hoses and fluid front and back will come to £241ish any sort of discount available being a premium member?
