I've had the Compbarake four pots with 335 (I think, they're huge) discs on the front end of mine for a year now. They look lovely, the stopping power is awesome (compared to standard four pots anyway), I've never had them fade at all on the road even when going pretty quick on twisty A/B roads and no seizing issues despite use throughout the winter. They still scrub up really well too and the pads have lasted very well indeed.

In all honesty, the only downside I can mention is that there is a lot of pad rattle on anything other than smooth roads - it's not intrusive in the cabin at all, I only notice it if I am travelling slowly with the window open, but I don't like to think that pedestrians think I'm driving a shed. Pure vanity really. If anyone has any suggestions on how to relieve this (other than residual pressure valves) I'd be most grateful to hear them.

They're so much cheaper than comparable brakes I'd say go for 'em, mind you the K-sport group buy at the mo is good value, though I appreciate that you have already bought the Compbrake kit.

Enjoy.

thanks for that good write up....I am looking forward to getting them tomorrow and trying them out....
