Hi, After reading a lot on these kits and other kit out there,
I've read the some have Ford BA calipers , other have Ford AU calipers , others have VT calipers and some have used PBR - Upgraded calipers to suit ????? . Some with the rotors, Any one have any info on this or to clear up with direction I should go.
THANKS.

Yep I got the same size kit as scottya. From their doc:
CONTENTS OF KIT
2 off disc rotors (DBA 502) drilled form blanks in Holden pattern or as ordered.
2 off calipers type 2 with pads DB1375
2 off mounting hubs, Holden HQ to WB stud pattern with Holden type bearings, seals and grease caps. Or other as ordered
2 off mounting plates
4 off M12 capscrews 1.75 pitch by 50 long gr 8
4 off M12 spring washers
4 off 7/16 UNF by 1 inch capscrews gr8
4off 7/16 spring washers
4 off spacers 19 mm thick
2 off brake hoses to suit, note that UC will have different hose from earlier cars
2 off banjo bolts and 4 off copper washers
Engineers report
I got a kit mid way through last year, no cutting required, only swapping stubs left to right. They told me that VT calipers are larger and most of the kits that use them also use 296mm rotors (rather than 290mm) which necessitates cutting.

That's what I got. Haven't fitted it yet, but I bar up every time I look in the box!
Got the 4000 series slotted rotors and all.
I payed $1500 delivered (with the T-shirt of course). Does that sound about right to you guys???

Cost me over NZ$2K and that was at a very good exchange rate, bloody taxes and shipping 
There's nothing else comparable around that price though. No-one else makes a kit for Toranas that's both easy and safe.

THANKS FOR THE REPLIES , I was going to source all the parts myself , then get the brackets made-up , But as you all know, that would be a lot off running around.
And there is ALWAYS something forgotten or losted . I think the kit costs a bit more, but it sounds like it a good thing and all the RIGHT parts are there ...... And the T-shirt , I can use that to wipe the grease off my hands after I've installed the kit..

not to mention sourcing those mounting hubs might be just a tad tricky...
