   im running new disks and mintex 1144's all round (all new as of 2 weeks ago) on my vts and for fast road use its very good imo. i really dont think i would bother upgrading the calipers and the disk size (and i have drove saxo's with willwood 4 pots on etc) unless i was going to track it. For the money i would definatly buy the kamracing kit!

   like said above, unless your gonna track it there is not much point, as normal road use wont require the same stopping power for a prolonged period

   no point buying a track day set up if you dont go on track.
   Standard calipers discs' and m1144 pads ftw.

   Rally design do mintex 1144s at not a bad price.
   Think its around
   £70 for the front and rear pads.
   They also do the maxtorque disks at around £20 each

    Jimbo06 you said you have driven saxos with willwood brakes for the price.are they that much better than the set up your running.

    Yes they are better, but only very slightly when you are using them for fast road use (on a track willwoods/hispecs etc would be alot better than my brakes) but when your on the road you really dont need 4pots imo as they dont warrent the extra £££'s. So if your not planning on track days, go with the kam package and put the money towards your suspension
