May 5, 201510 yr I am getting mixed reviews on KSport brake kits. Has anyone on here ever used them on a WRX? I am looking to change the nasty 2 pots and these seemed pretty reasonable however if they are pants I wont bother getting them!
May 5, 201510 yr Used to have crap or none existsant dust seals, d2 seem to get better reviews. For me though godspeeds offer thats on for 6 pot aps for £1250 would be the route to go if I was upgrading, not as cheap as the d2's but ap's are the muts nuts when it comes to brakes.
May 6, 201510 yr D2's are almost £1k tho. Ksport/D2 are the same casting aren't they? just a different brand engraved on the case
May 6, 201510 yr Author D2's are almost £1k tho. Ksport/D2 are the same casting aren't they? just a different brand engraved on the case This is what I thought?! I spoke to Subaru4You and they rate them but Sumo Power has told me to stay away from them. I dont want to spend £1k on brakes if they are rubbish!
May 6, 201510 yr I'm surprised that no one has mentioned wilwood big brake kits....... All the Glanza owners I know with them love them :) James

May 6, 201510 yr http://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/BrakeKitsProdFront.aspx?itemno=140-12874 $1700 + shipping + import tax + vat + profit which at a rough guess £1146.59 + £50 + £250 + shipping + dealer profit is gonna put them way up there in the £2000 area, Ap's work out cheaper not sure how comparable they are though.
May 7, 201510 yr Author Im sure Demon Tweeks stock the Wilwood's but not for car specific. Think im just going to stick to the K-Sports
May 7, 201510 yr I must admit everywhere ive clicked to look at scobby big brakes its always AP or KSPORTS :D James
May 13, 201510 yr I replied to your other post, I just got the new K-Sport 8pot forged brake kit fitted and is amazing!. The problem is you do not get pads with the kit so be prepared to pay extra, I got Ferodo DS2500 pads and the kit works amazing.
May 13, 201510 yr Author Thanks I have opted for the D2's like I said on my previous post. The D2's work out same price (when you factor in K-Sport dont come with pads) and they have the dust seals which the K's dont.

June 1, 201510 yr Author Im going for 356mm front and 330mm rear D2 Kit with DS2500 pads. Just waiting for my end of year before I order.
June 1, 201510 yr Yer let me know how you get on as that's what I was looking at but have other bits to do first I think. -- I make Films and Website for people
June 1, 201510 yr Author I have spoken to a few people and they get the better reviews mainly because they have the dust seals plus they come with fast road pads as standard whereas the K Sports dont come with pads. I will let you know buddy, but likely be July before they are fitted.

Ok cool good to know, Yer I won't be doing it for a while been pricing up exhort and down pipes along with planning what cats I can forget to install after and so on.
June 1, 201510 yr Author I decided not to bother on the exhaust for awhile as there isnt one on the market for me. The Invidia is going to be too loud and the rest just look like the OEM.
