    I"m running the Aerospace rear kit but I never got around to ordering the front kit....they told me to ship them a spindle and $525. The kit is a solid rotor that's been cross drilled, it has an aluminum hat that bolts to the rotor. The caliper is a 4-piston aluminum. I think that wilwood offers a kit also but i'm not sure. Mark Williams offers a really expensive kit, over $800. I'm not sure about the aluminum master but i'm sure there's one out there, please let me know if you find one for the 4-wheel disc setup......
