The Focus RS ones went for quite steep money so I let them go. These are off an EVO IX which is being rally prep'd. They have only covered 70 miles from new and only cost me £255 which is a bit of a bargain in my book. I will have to get some custom brackets made up; however I know a good 'lazer dude' as I call him who can knock some up easily.

As for the rears - you are quite right about the slave handbrake caliper. I have looked at Wilwood and they have a few options. I was looking at getting the rear brakes that went with the calipers I bought - there were a few people after them though, so the price went beyond what I was prepared to pay.

All in good time though. The plan is - put the Brembos on the front and see what the balance is like with the current set up. Then I will make a decision with the rears. As soon as you start playing with too many things at once (at least where a balance is concerned) you just don't know where to start in fixing any issues!

I also nearly bought the ECU recently - a Motec M4 Pro with Military spec connections and additional lambada inputs went for £890. Considering it all cost over 2k new - that would have been a good purchase.
