Ask Calooker....he had a set on offer.................. :wink:

Complete kit ready to just bolt on 4x100 PCD, and everyting is brand new. Consists of all the bolts, callipers, pads, disks, bearing kits & seals R2200. If you need any of the items individually I can supply, no problem. Rear kits are also available.
If bought individually will cost a lot more. It can be posted to anywhere in SA at R100
