Got my Alcon 4 pots today, all going well the discs/hats will finally be here tomorrow.
I'm using DBA 5000s, with blue EVO 8 hats and 345mm HSV style slotted rotors.
I'll post some more tomorrow.

I agree, but big enough for my road car.
The purple one has 6 pots :)

omg......I hope both your Starions have ABS fitted otherwise you would need like 280mm wide tyres to not induce the tyres to skid under heavy braking.....

Rear ABS, so not really.
The best ABS on a Starion is just to use the pedal, as a pedal, not as a button.
Oh and :drool: :drool:

sorry for the highjack but.....How hard would it be to fit 4 pot brakes from a skyline gtr?

I had a set of skyling calipers to fit to the staz.
After 6 months of trying to work out a way of doing it, I gave up and did the Willwood version (thanks to cookies lead).
The Willwood way was quite easy, but no 4 pot conversion is cheap!
Be warned :x
Having said that, they are brilliant at the track, or on the road, for that matter.
See the tech section for details on how to do it.

Can you get Ferrodo DS2500/3000 Pads for any of these expensive calipers ?
