I am not sure if their kit has original LR calipers and their current solution is for the 18 inch rims. I believe they are selling a complete kits with wheels. I did fair research into this and finally laid it. If you buy the P400 with 22 inch wheels. you dont need to change the rear calper. All you need to buy is the rotar, rotor housing and the pads and use the same caliper. You can buy the Rover sport rotor, pads and housing for the rear wheel. Make sure the front brakes are bled, and dont need to do anything to rear brakes. If you want to do complete the front and rear, you are looking around $7k USD. This will give you original LR brakes and Tuffant 18 inchwheels and Falken AT tires. This is what cost my friend who did his complete make over recently. Also I would not recommend doing the lift rods. X lifters is coming up with their electronic lift kit. I believe it will be released early 2022. Its much better solution then rods. The kit will be around $700 USD.
If your calipers are not colour painted, you do not need to replace them to put 18 inch rims. However you will need to change the rear rotors, brake pads and housing for the rotors. but you can you the same caliper. You can buy the Range rover rear brake kit without the calipers and install 18 inch wheels. also you willneed to bleed the front brakes, not the rear brakes. The best person to talk to is Jake at Tuffant USA. He is great guy and very helpful.
I think you’ve gotten this all backwards.
I don’t believe there’s any situation where you need to replace rotors (but I’m not sure about what comes on trucks with 22s.) But on trucks with 20s you need to replace the rear calipers with the L8 calipers, which use the same pistons and pads as the existing LR OEM rear calipers. The rotors (discs) don’t need replaced.
The caliper is the red thing, the rotor (disc) is the silver thing.
P400 with 22 inch factory wheels come with 380mm (F) and 365mm (R), but use the same standard silver calipers in the rear. No need to change the calipers if you want to go down to 18 inch. however, you will need to the the Disc, disc housing and pads. No mods to the front tire.
V8 comes with performance brakes (blue calipers) regardless of the wheel size. still 380mm (F) and 365mm (R), but you need to change the everyting to go down to 18 inch.

I'm finding that hard to believe and a little big if true.
Shaved/slim calipers don't concern me as long as they are still structurally sound. Stopping power would be the same.
Smaller discs and pads though, not good for stops, driving in heavy traffic, or torque vectoring.

LR102243 + LR102246 $370 for the set. That's a big difference if it's really what they are using.
Their package deal price is pretty good for 5 Tuffant Alloys and these calipers. The forum member who shared the part numbers has them installed as planned.
