D2 big brake conversion experience
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 Jura |
AP 6 pots. Fit and forget.
. . . Except maybe the bill! They are the daddies though! |
As jura said there basically k-sports.

. . . Except maybe the bill! They are the daddies though! 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

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