Was trying to decide what pads and discs to upgrade to when I stumbled accross the KAD website, needless to say that made my decision a lot easier and today I finally got them fitted.

They looked huge in the boxes which slightly worried me for a minute, but now I think they look the nuts and quite a bit smaller!!

Can't wait until they're bedded in to test them properly.

Here goes and hope you like

They look great. 6 pot? 8 pot? This is the next thing i'll be getting done...never heard of KAD but will look into them.

Another set recommended to me were the K-Sport 8 pots.

Colour of your car is stunning btw!

Thanks very much and they are 6 pots, heard good things about the K-sport 8's too, just fancied something that little bit different

I've still got the original 2 pots on my car at the moment . Got fast road discs and pads for them but they still fade away to nothing after about 2 mins hard use! Shocking brakes considering the pace that even a standard UK turbo has. Mine is running more power so that doesnt help matters.

KAD are a seriously clever engineering firm.

They are very big in classic mini racing. And that means full spaceframe mini silhouette racers with carbon bodywork and a custom cast DOHC 16V head for the engine. Proper company you can trust to do a good job. They're here.

K sport appears to be some import company making bling products with no engineering input at all. Have a search and you'll see one bulk buyer who had to mill the corner off (where's the bling then?) to get the wheels to fit. Not big or clever.

They look smart!
Big brakes look amazing behind smart wheels,2 pots just look stupid,especially when some muppet paints them red!
Im still on 2 pots at the mo,and have been looking at these myself,but Mr bank manager won't allow me to do it at the mo

Look smart mate, I know what you mean about them looking huge in the box. I have a set of KSport 8 pots to go on Monday and they looked massive.

lookin good thread jack alert those look like 18's what tyres are you running as the bead looks like it offers good protection for the wheels which mine are saddly lacking

They look great that's the good thing about the GRA's they certainly allow you to fit a big disc and caliper.

Thanks for the comments guys and to answer a few questions....

I got the wheel nuts from America, stumbled accross them on ebay actually! typed in "tuner lugs" or something similar!?!?!?

The tyres are Eagles F1's and they are indeed 18's.

I've had some professional shots taken so once I get them i'll post some more up.

looking very cool, but 1 question, are they on the right sides? i.e the grooves going the right way?

scooby-doo-where-r-u

iTrader: (3)

Yes they are, but when I first got them I did think they went on the other way.

Its House of Color Apple Red Kandy over a cinder red base coat; it also has rage spectroflash under the Kandy that's gives a real deep metalic fleck in the sun, can't really be seen in pictures though!!!!
