here is a set on ebay;

why were you advised to change you calipers, are they damaged?
I had considered the above upgrade, but funds won't allow it. some people report a bigger change from changing to ebc brake pads and upgrading the braided steel brake lines. Decent brake fluid as well.

something like the above is maybe a good bet, not sure if it is dear at the current price, don't think you need longer lines either.

Minkyhead upgraded using GSXR600 bits. Search for "GSXR brakes on a strom" to find the thread with pics - can't access it at work at the moment
