thanks john the carriers do they come with the calipers or are they seperate khalid

Carriers are attached to the car and then the calipers bolted on to the carriers. Just ask the guy if the carriers are there as they are quite expensive

I wouldn't bother with the pads and discs, used ones are a bad idea if you don't know the history and how long they've sat around, and the pad and disc kit is only £72+VAT from VX themselves...
