I think there's new ones out now which have piston seals so they meet ADRs, I still reckon they're ****e compared to some of the OEM calipers available on the market from other cars, better choice of pads available too and easier to get a hold of compared to Wilwood stuff too.

Worth chatting to a local brake and clutch specialist with some experience with brake conversions if you're doing a brake upgrade on an older car - one of my customers was using VE Commodore calipers for upgrades on oldskool cars.

Factor in the price of custom brake cables too for the handbrake on the rear if doing a brake conversion.
