Either wilwood or hispec 4 pots
I prefer the hispecs tbh don't like the build quality of wildwood but they are the cheapest ready made bolt on kit from new

There's many others too but the above are the cheapest ready made kits

I like the hispec kits aswell. Keep in mind depending on the size of the brakes you want, your wheels might not fit, so factor that into your budget

Carbotec brake pads cp8 road/fast road  cp10 track very dusty and sqweel but very good pads stopping power is un like any other pad. Not cheap but well worth it

Hi spec are a good caliper. But if budget is tight k sport do a kit. Dont forget to flush your brake fluid right out put all new in system and braided brake lines help alot

Wilwoods are ok but as Bob mentioned they are not the best build quality even though can perform ok, certainly worth buying if on a promotion as damn cheap at times.

Tarrox are amazing people wont spend the money on them tho. Ap are very good but expensive. I thought wilwood have to be rebuilt due to no dust covers etc or similar

Keep it on this one. Personally i would buy anything second hand and save a fortune spend the extra on pads. If you can put up with the dust and sqweeling use carbotec pads and you will be amazed

I had the the squeeling noise lol, so I can just buy carbotec pads for my standard brakes, and they will work good??
Yeah but if I buy off this website can pay it monthly lol easier for me then, but what would you say out off all off them on that link

either Hispec 4pot or the Ksport 6pots ...
Have not had experience of Ksport on an R but recently renewed discs & pads on a Ksport 6pot kit & quality of kit & braking performance was very very good.
You can get the Ksport kit for £790 if shop around.
You maybe best looking at a loan or credit card so opens more options to deals on same products as can easily save you £100 upwards.
Personally I find 325mm disc pointless on a more road over track car & the extra unsprung weight of huge discs is not a good thing nor is the more limited wheel size options.

Just gonna go for the hispec 4pots I think, already got a loan out for other things lol so not worried about saving to much money as it's helping me out not having to pay it all out at once, thanks for advice Mr b, I do have 17'' wheels on mine anyway so might aswell do the 325mm

Hispec are good& easy to get spares, just sometimes lead times can
be lengthy as busy company.

I like hi-specs, never had any issues with them.

Currently running brembos, these work well.
