I have drilled front and rear, The front ones cost £146 a pair from a company called Mtec. I've had them for about six months and still happy with the performance. Paired with decent brake pads and in my opinion much better that the OEM set up.

Looks good

When you say superb pads, do you mean stopping power or amount of dust created? Also did you change them yourself? Do you know if the after the rear electronic parking brake has been retracted, does the caliper piston needs a tool to rewind further and do they also need to be rotated?
