I went from the Godspeed 335 kit to the KSport 330 kit and wish I hadnt bothered the Godspeed kit was better on my car.

The Godspeed kit was running a little too close to the wheels and when they got hot they were just catching. I knew the K Sport were a slimmer caliper as I have them on my Evo, I wanted to keep the original wheels so had to go 330mm and Apex said they had them in red so went for them.

I found with the Godspeed kit you could set the pedal pressure and the brakes would maintain the braking action, with the K Sport I find I have to keep pushing the pedal harder to maintian the same action.

The pistons on the K Sport are tiny compared to the 4 pots so can only think that is where the difference is.

Dont get me wrong the K Sport are not bad brakes but in my opinion the Godspeed kit is just better value for money.

update the 356 k sport will fit under SOME 17s but you need a good width rim (8.5" min) and low offset (et12 or less) and a well designed wheel in terms of brake clearance
or you could just go for a 2 piece disc and blue pads. that should make a good diffrence

I think you would struggle to get the 356 kit under any 17" wheel to be honest.

Brembos? Forget it, dont rate the ones Subaru use at all.
