i've fitted it, makes quite a bit of difference with some redstuffs considering its only a disc and pad upgrade. fits perfect apart from you have to grind the casting marks off of one side of the caliper on each side. takes very little time to do. you also need to cut or bend the dust shields but you have to do that with any bigger brake upgrade. can get some pics tomorrow, too dark now.:)

Thanks!
Interesting to see.

If you have some time to do a few more pics, I´m specially interested in the mounting brackets of the rear caliper.
Is it good material?

yes the brackets are pretty sturdy and well engineered, the rears were approx 10mm mild steel powder coated and the fronts were approx 12mm mild steel zinc plated.
