make sure you get the adaptor plates for the calipers. you wont be able to fit them otherwise.

As far as I'm aware it's a bolt on upgrade, as long as you have the right calipers/pads, caddyforum brackets and 280mm discs of course. I have this set up waiting to go on mine. Only other thing is you need minimum 15inch wheels to clear the bigger set-up.

280mm calipers
280mm pads and discs
Adapters from just caddy
Some cheese

Quite a few floating about on the eBay and the adapters are forty odd quid straight from the shop. Jackpot
