timmyjk7 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Used them on front on a r33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 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.

salsa-king Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 D2's are almost £1k tho. Ksport/D2 are the same casting aren't they? just a different brand engraved on the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Tidgy Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 No there different, they look similar, Ksport piston seals, D2 pistons/dust seals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 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.

timmyjk7 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Im sure Demon Tweeks stock the Wilwood's but not for car specific. Think im just going to stick to the K-Sports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmymac101 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I must admit everywhere ive clicked to look at scobby big brakes its always AP or KSPORTS :D James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMInsite Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmyjk7 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmyjk7 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Im going for 356mm front and 330mm rear D2 Kit with DS2500 pads. Just waiting for my end of year before I order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmyjk7 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmyjk7 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
