I've a mini DH build on about to happen on a Ransom 930. Comes with SX/NX and super budget MT420 brakes which no doubt are fine, but I'd prefer to sell the entire build kit complete.
I've a set of 8100 XT's but still want to run at least a 4 piston caliper up front so unsure if I go Shigura or just switch out the front caliper. Or even get a set of deore/SLX 4's and sell the XT 2's

Shimano north America are empty of inventory but the germans seems to have options.. aside from not being able to ship to Canada.. but I can send it via the UK
What's the go to outlet that's still shipping into the UK?

Working well for me and MT5s were a bargain if they are still available anywhere

how much for the 4 pot set Jam?

Also wonder if 220mm Formula centerlock rotors might be an equally beneficial upgrade to 2 piston xt on 203mm rotors with less faff. (fox 38 on CL 240 hubs)

I'm intrigued by the shigura thing though as I've always had a thing for magura having run their impressive Marta SL's as weight weenie brakes, Louise FR's as workhorse guiding/heli drop brakes and Gustavs as zero arm pump anchors with bonkers seated stoppie abilty.

@Bearback - I was putting them on eBay for £320 - as they are new and unused.

I have the unused rotors available too - 180mm f&r.
