Only thing with doing the Sorento ones is I can't guarantee they have the same caliper bracket.
If you go with the XG350 2 piston calipers, "FULLY LOADED" from RockAuto (I'll ship to you if they won't), you get all of the right parts. Then you just need rotors, and some brake fluid.

Shipping won't be that bad, I'd do international flat rate through USPS, would cost maybe $30 each or less?
Calipers aren't big, just a bit heavy.
As for prices, I gave you the site, go look them up. www.rockauto.com
Buy one at a time if you have to, but do it right man.

Does it have to be modified?
Have you done the BBK as well??

Shit always gets lost in airports especially in post...
Its crime... We have alot of that.
Have done what?
Gk caliper?
Please let me know what exactly you did.
Did you just use Gk calipers and sonata discs?
Easy or difficult?

sorry for not responding sooner. the xg calipers(and thus brake pads), if you go that route, are off by 4mm in the diameter from the sonata rotors. i'm sure they are still ok to run like that, but saw some mention of them above so just thought i would let you know.
i did a DIY wilwood BBK, which i will probably be selling unfortunately after i finish the caliper brackets.
