yes that's exactly what I am looking for, Maltings do a nice six pot kit too but I'd hoped maybe someone on here had maybe removed the kit for some reason and were looking to sell it...just trying to save a bit of cash but I might have to bite the bullet.

Just done mine. Got discs/calipers from e breaker on ebay for under £400. Came with almost new discs and pads so reused them. Painted the calipers before fitting and just removed the mudshields altogether. Ended up swapping the wheels as the 20s i had on fouled the calipers

Thanks for the info, I've just bought a D4 66 plate Landmark and i'm not impressed with the brakes I've read on here that people say the brakes are fine but I disagree , if you push on a bit and I don't even mean towing anything it takes a fair bit of effort to get it to slow down. has the six pots made a big difference ?

Might be worth trying some different pads? EBC do some excellent ones, green or yellow made a noticeable difference on my D4. You go through them quicker than OEM but the pull up distance is noticeably better.Jim
