Euro spec = UK Spec = US spec = J-spec 17" Optional - all are 4pot calipers with 324mm discs.
J-spec small and US NA's have 2pot sliding calipers with ~290mm discs.

What else do you need to swap them over?

2x calipers
pads
disks

Is there anything else at all you need to get for the conversion? Any fitting kits etc?

I tried the link to the UK brake upgrade for Jspec cars with no luck. Is it still good? I would like to upgrade the bigger/better UK/Euro spec brakes. Anybody got the parts required, procedure for dummies, and price? Cheers.
