pot. pot being shorthand for piston.

da change should go smoothly. as long as da hardlines are da right ones. otherwise da calipers bolt in directly.

make sure you go get da pads for da turbo car, and brake fluid...

correct me if I'm wrong but if your running single pot then you have a 4 lug right. the bigger 4 pot brakes are made for 5 lug and have bigger disc also so your going to need to do a 5 lug swap all the way around.

all you need is the calipers, and the line from the caliper to the brake line on the body.
