CRC have some 2017 Guide RS brakes pretty cheap, all sorts of hose lengths and mounting configurations. Having never used their brakes I'm under the impression that if I get a Front and Rear Caliper and 2 levers plus long enough hoses I'm good to go? They're going on a 180mm PM fork and an IS frame, discs will be 200/180mm.
I'm looking at these:
Black, Left Hand Front, 900mm 20mmPM and Black, Right Hand Rear, 1450mm PM

Any significant difference between these and the latest?

You can get any combo you like as long as the hoses are long enough. The levers and calipers are identical. It's worth noting that 1450 might not be long enough for a full Suss. 900 is fine for all but the widest barred DH bike.

Thanks Ben, It's going on a looong full suss 29er but as that's the longest combo I think I'll take a chance and at the worst I'll need a new hose and olives.

Silly question, but they are the latest Bleeding Edge calipers I assume?

From memory 1450mm fitted my Large jeffsy 29er by the way. I think anyway!
