Hi Dave,

I assume there vented discs

Different pads would make a difference or change the upgrade the whole lot .Willwood do a good kit.Try Rally Design.

I have used the standard Sierra calipers with EBC Green Stuff pads and EBC Turbo Groove disc's and I have been very pleased.

The only downside has been the slight noise from the grooves between the pads ! It is easily bearable because I can smoke the front tyres at 70 mph and get quite good feel through the pedal.

My recommendation (for what it's worth).

Cheer's Gareth, yes they are vented.Would the Willwood caliper's fit in the 15'' Halibrand they do look very wide and bulky,thank's for your help.

Dave,

Wilwood do a kit that that replaces the standard set up with 4 pot calipers and grooved vented discs to fit on a standard sierra so should fit fine.If in doubt give the lads at Rally Design a ring or look on the website.Both are very helpful.
