KAD have been going for a long time and are very well respected in Europe. We (KAD and Scoobysport) will be providing full support for US customers (not that you will need it), but it would take you a lot of years to clock up the out and out abuse we gave them in testing. They came through in perfect condition and that's why we decided to stock them.

By comparison, we used to sell Brembo kits and got no support whatsoever. If something failed, we had to buy a replacement to give it to the customer under warranty.

 

A bold statement pete!

Whats so special about the internals of these KAD's? If you are refering to anti knockoff springs behind the pistons, this is something AP have been using for many years, you can spec those in any AP caliper in various poundages depending on aplication, you just have to know what to ask for.

 

Hi John

There's more to the KADs than than just the springs, they also have a very clever piston design and are considerably lighter than AP calipers. Don't get me wrong, I think APs are brilliant (loved 'em on my RA), but this is a newer design and its incorporated the latest developments. Like all such things, I'm sure everyone will follow suit soon

 

I'll take a look on Sunday then, i expect you'll have them on your stand?

Have you done any rigidity testing, what are they like for taper wear?

 

Hi John

Even wear when pads down to 30% remaining (including track use) and the calipers are pressure tested to 5,000 psi.

Rigidity is as AP 6 pot set up.

They will bolt straight on

 

I am thinking this thread is going to cost me some money in the not too distant future!
