depends on your budget but wilwoods look good value for money when compared with cossie 4x4 ones

think there around 450 quid for the wilwoods

were as cossie ones you get pads for around 70 discs around 150 and calipers for around 200


all prices are roughly at that and i may be a bit out on the wilwoods

Saph Cossie 4x4 Disks and Calipers are a good choice - will fit under most 15's, or ST170 setup but will require 16's. Standard master cylinder should be fine, but upgrade to braided lines.

i got escort cossie 4x4 set up, all ya need for this is disc, calipers , 4 bolts that are about 10mm longer than standard and some washers to space the cailper out to disk, depending on the thickness of the washers you might only need 2 for each bolt, but the washers need to space it about about 5-6mm
