K-Sport Brakes advice/supplier
Looking at purchasing a K-Sport big brake kit for another car I own. Not been on here in years and wanted to know what the latest was on them in terms of reliability etc.
Also any traders on here that are doing good deals on the them at the moment?
Cheers

Had an 8 pot 355 kit on my car when I bought it. Had to be stripped and cleaned every few months to stop them binding. Poor seals, if any, not suited to UK weather in my opinion. I believe the current ones are a better design however, I personally wouldn't touch them again with a barge pole. I switched to AP's which are fit and forget. Also I needed a replacement metal pipe which joins the two halves of the caliper when it got damaged by a stone. Four weeks delivery time!! No one holds stock! Buy cheap, buy twice!!

Are they squealing just on braking or all the time? The only time mine didn't squeal was just after a strip and clean. Then gradually the squeal would come back, not under braking but just crawling along in traffic because the pads weren't releasing properly. Then they would get progressively worse until they would lock on. Embarrassing and ****e!
Speak to Godspeed about AP's. He does some good deals. Had 2 sets of AP's on my last two Scoob's and they are brilliant!

I think the K-sport are a cheaper option for big brakes.
I read somewhere before they can suffer from parts not being replaceable when they need fixing, maybe Godspeed could recommend something for you http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/
Sc do 6pots too

squealing on braking, however if i listen carefully, i think they are slightly binding on occasion also.
**** knows, just want standards back on now.

Speak to Ian @ Godspeed brakes. I debated k sports and ultimately ended up with APs, you won't regret it.
