Yes, you get that all in the kit, including brake pads and fitting bolts.

If you only need the brackets contact RichM (on here)

I got mine off him as I was being lazy and with the bolts etc they cost me about Ł33 if I remember.

I just made my own lines up as its a simple job to do...

I got all my stuff from Burton Power, really easy to do as well, took me about 25min per side with no problems! Back end does get a bit light when braking round corners!!!
