I have looked into the larger disc upgrade, and see there is a kit from FCP that has the brackets, rotors pads, lines etc.
While the freight is a bit of a killer, its still much cheaper than getting gear locally.

I've just removed Bendix Ultimate pads from the front, and have the DBA drilled and slotted rotors on the front.
Was going to replace all pads with EBC Green stuff.
I was recently quoted about $800 for new rotors and pads, the same as what I have, but that was the front only !
