Thinking about some of these before FCS this year. Generally regarded to not squeal like a bitch but obviously not direct fit. Does anyone know where i can get some adaptors from? What Discs are to be used with them?

Ash on the 6 forum did the kits so I am sure he could get what you need.
Think they use the bells and rotors from hi spec I believe.
Though that's a guess from what I read on the 6 forum.

Cool

If possible, would prefer a set of willwoods or midlites but obviously rarer and hold their value more. There is a full willwood setup on ebay at the moment but they want over £500 for it!

Worth it. My hi specs were £250 but are £700 brand new.
The cost of getting the Brembo's to fit and then the bells and rotors you will be over that figure anyway

They will always be expensive compared to standard 6 brakes, but you will see why the first time and every time you brake after that.
I know people mock me for pointing out the kits and saying they are a million times better, but that's because they are. Anyone who has been in my car will say the same once I brake.

Renault sport calipers £250 +
Rotors are like £100 + each
Bells I can't remember off the top of my head but not cheap.
Then the mounting kits or getting some made.
Brake lines.
Pads
Might as well spend £500 and know all that has been sorted.
I like mine I can use 6 discs pads are only £50 a pop.
Cheap to buy and replace parts.

Set of hi specs on eBay but over £500 but I am sure he is lying in his post as the calipers look like the older ones.

Yea I know, "just bought a month ago for £1200" then next line "came off a saxo race car we are breaking for parts"
Would fit straight on though.

Less than that, they are the older calipers.
