There's no kit as such. you have to get brackets made up.

ST204's seem to be good if you dont mind 16" plus wheels

All that is a wilwood caliper with a mounting braket made for it. should work, but the thing with a lot of wilwood capliers are that they don't have dust boots, and aren't very suitable for street as a result. It just depends on what your aims are.

Must be ADR approved - so Dust boots are a must!

ST205 GT-4 calipers up front is probably the most tried and tested brake upgrade that works and is not too difficult to have done.
 
RobYob's car has this upgrade, you should check it out!

Yes, I have read a fair bit about the GT4 brake upgrade onto the AW11 - My concern with this mod is that the std aw11 master cyl capacity may not be big enough for the large twin piston calipers of the GT4 ?- much better off with very small 6 piston setup. ? I also don't like the idea of drilling the rotars to make a 4x100 stud pattern every time I replace the rotars..

If you get a rotor like the DBA 5000's which are a 2 piece with alloy hat, then you will only have to get machine work done once. Yes they cost alot more, for the first purchase, but then the rotor itself with no hat is simular price to the 4000's anyway.
Thats what im doing.
 
Plus on a personal rant and my 2c, i wouldnt rate wilwood as a 'race car' caliper, and as said above not ideal for the street, so ??? They are cheap tho.....
