Hello all I'm in the process of looking to upgrade my bug wagon brake setup as the four pots are poo I have been reading up on here about the ksports and it seems some ppl are having trouble with the pads over hanging and stuff so I have now been torn between a few different setups does any1 have any experience of the d2 s on japspeed as they look a nice little setup from the pics any experience from different setups welcome also I forgot to say they would be used for fast road with the possibility of a few track days in the near future when the funds allow many thanks

 

K-Sport and D2 are almost same,both using same shape of pads(AP shape of pads)

We are running K-sport front and rear and with the right pads are great,we are running PF Z-rated pads(1247.10) and they're brilliant and not so dusty as DS2500

AP 6 pots. Fit and forget.

Except maybe the bill!

They are the daddies though!

 

As jura said there basically k-sports.

 

 

Im not sure but ksport is ap old design.
ap calipers are not monoblock, dont see reason why pay so much ,near 3k with good pads- front only,and are overkill for discs.(discs often crack)
on ebay is offer - alcon proR 6pot monobloc calipers 1,5k or
ksport -d2 front and rear for 2k here from traders.

 

Why not just get a good second hand set of STI brembo's. If your not running huge power these are easily good enough, look good too. Combined with some decent discs and pads and your a winner.
Or if money is no object go with the Porsche front setup, look awesome and in my opinion (I am biased) they are the best setup available without spending huge money.

I do feel that AP/porsche/Ksport etc etc are overkill for most people though, the standard STI brembo's are pretty good with the right bits.

 

Power station where doing a great deal with ap racing or porsche calepers discs and pads plus fitting for 1799-2k I think

 

That's good value.

I have them, fantastic brakes.

 

As Matty said Brembo should be enough with PF disc and good pads and you have good combo,but this can come in price,which will be similar to the K-sport or D2

Porsche brakes are probably nicest setup and really looks awesome

As I said,D2 and K-sport use AP shape pads(CP5070D54, used in Caliper Type CP5555 or AP CP5070D51),price for pads is similar to the AP/Porsche etc...

Porshe caliper pad cost is expensive in comparison to others.............
