    Road & Race Shropshire are selling them for £410 delivered if your quick and fancy and early Christmas present!

    Just bought a set. :)

    Do I need shorter bolts? I believe I need to remove the spacers?

    Will my existing stainless banjos fit the new M4's?

    Think you needs finer thread banjo bolt.

    1.25 pitch I think?

    Typical. :)

    It's 1.0 for Brembo iirc as 1.25 is standard. From what I remember when I changed to RCS master cylinder.

    I assume the M4's come with banjos but I could be wrong.

    You could be right OCD, if just fitted Brembo GPRX calipers to mine. I went into Pdq and asked for a pair of banjo bolts to suit, I'm sure he muttered 1.25 fine pitch but I could be wrong. Anyway they are different to standard tokico thread

    Fitted some Brembo M4's to my race bike - Yes, you do have to remove the spacers & no need to change the bolts, the standard length bolts are OK to use.

    Do I need locator pegs for the calipers or will they align properly using the standard bolts ?

    Not sure on the M4's I'm using GP4's with no spacer/locator, just make sure if your not using them to apply the front brake whilst tightening the bolts, this will centralise the callipers.
