I might go down this route you know, looking at costs and it's crazy not to! So far I've found these on eBay...

Fronts:

Rears:

Need to work out discs, pads, adaptors and lines now! But so far calipers and refurbs looks to be less than £1000, my mission will to be to get both front and rear set ups for less than the cost of VW Racing front 6 piston brakes.

Saying that:

Could be a winner, just get the rears at a later date to match the ECS Tuning kit.

If anyone's got a how-to guide for doing this kit, PLEASE let me have it as I'll need as much info as possible. May even fit these myself to save more money, rude not to now I have a full work shop at my disposal!

Disc brakes:
-ML55 or GL450 350 mm

Pads:
Ferodo DS2500 (330 mm discs) (190,1x99x16,8) FCP1625H

Pad wear sensor wires: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/381287223597

Braided brake lines: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111046291292

Aluminium discs centring rings: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111392994828

Calipers adaptors: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111067552499

It's better to get the pads for the Brembo 17Z calipers since they match perfectly with the 350 mm ML discs. I got the EBC Redstuff for the 17Z (DP31521C).

You can get the calipers, adaptors and brake lines from this shop: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151515479484

Addiction Motorsport has all that you need but not all items have the best price available. The store also recommends to get the smaller pads (DS2500 FCP1625H) for the 18Z: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111049676173. :wink:

Other bits that may be needed to refurbish the calipers:

Caliper boots and seals (kit incl. 2x30mm, 2x34mm & 2x38mm boots and seals): 2x 143.35037

Pins and retention clips: 95535195900

Crossover lines: 2x 95535196110

Front bleeder valves with boots: 2x 93035191900

What about the HB caliper? I know it does FA but it looks  :drool:
