Brake upgrade

I was reading on some FTO forum about RPW making a brake upgrade kit using Mitsubishi 294mm front rotors and 280 or 290mm rear ones.

These are evo 4 items are they?
The posts were from 2003 so I am assuming this is a kit that never went to production.

Just wondering if anyone knows, what brakes these would be, if they fit easy etc

both UAS and RPW have FTO break upgrade options. I think the UAS one is an HSV version with bigger calipers also...but is more expensive...both look great.

the UAS ones are lightweight 330mm i think

im thinking of just getting these rotors from camskill...

about $300

and then getting steel braided brake lines aswell...

the UAS ones are 330mm rotors with HSV group A callipers. much bigger setup than the RPW ones...

i've had them on the car now almost a year and its a fantastic upgrade.

The UAS one seems nice but I would need to wheels etc

The 294mm from RPW seems good, but I was wondering if people could give me more info?
As I will just tell my mechanic to try source me this gear and it will be cheap
