Hydraulic brakes on Mongoose

Hi all,
I've got a Mongoose Tyax Elite '07. It has disc brakes but I want to put hydraulic brakes on it.
If this is possible can people suggest some possiblities at a reasonable, give the actuall price of the bike

Watch yourself if you're replacing the brake rotors. They're fastened with allen bolts (rather than Torx) which aren't the best quality so be careful you don't round any out like I did.

Is it just me? Or are both of my disk brakes seemingly off center. It seems the disk gets pushed all the way right to the other side before it makes contact with the other one. Like a 3mm gap! With only 0.3mm on the driven side! I almost hit a damn car today because I got my pinkie trapped behind the brake lever in a panic and the damn thing wouldn't stop because normally I have to stick at least 4 fingers on the lever and pull it all the way back to stop.
Anything I can do guys, without paying loads for hydraulics?

I have one? You mean as in it's on the brake cover (on the calliper)!!!
Wow!
I'll await your response and if you need a picture I'll go take one and check that at the same time!
I guess you would need a hex key?

Anyway now I get full power at half way pull it's so damn awesome! I've just cleaned them with my Muc off disk brake cleaner again also. Hope it helps more can't harm it right?
Thanks again mate! Now if only I could sort out that shock problem ;P.

But now there it a lot of travel in the lever before the break bites - my mate reckons this a better set up, as I can feather the brakes - but coming from a road background don't like travel in brakes...
Wot should I do ?
