Fronts only.  Rears are same as mk1 lcr.

You can run them with 345mm discs with custom brackets.  Same brackets I have on the vRS.  Clearace isnt great with that setup. 3mm spacers on a pro race 1.2.

Or use the 362mm kit which fits with no spacer and 5mm clearance on a pro race 1.2.

Advantage over porka brakes is there are more disc choices other than the 350mm merc disc.  Otherwise they both work well.

Meant to be better with a master cylinder upgrade.  Im fitting my new kit without the ms upgrade first,  then the ms upgrade will be fitted so I can give a decent opinion on it.  My kit has the same piston size as the db9.
