Hoppers stoppers do a kit for front discs and twin piston pbr calipers. Check out there web site or give them a call. I have modified xe discs with hz calipers. The rear is a 9inch so I have xd drums on the rear. With a std master cyl. Very easy to upgrade.

Hi Wogboy69,

Try Ultra Performance Components in Melb. They are on Ebay as "mr-spares" and they do good brake kits with a 5 stud conversion. I think the orices are better than Hoppers but check it out for yourself.
