Default KAD Brake Upgrade - Opinions please?

Hi,

We are looking into a Group Buy of the KAD Big Brake upgrade over on the MLR.

Any of the track day Scooby regulars tested them - any opinions?

details:
2 piece billet 7075 6 pot calipers and mountings (choice of colours)
Heat treated, ground finish 330mm or 356mmx28mm 8 groove 2 piece discs, bells anodised black
Choice of either DS2500 or M1155 brake pads
4 line Goodridge braided hose kit
£ 1,278

How do they compare with the Brembo Gran Turismo's, GodSpeed, AP's ? Can't imagine they compete with Movit/Porsche brakes though.......?

Check they have full dust seals for road use

I have made kits before using these calipers and they are good , they are a 6 pot caliper but only use the AP 4 pot pads , so they wont be as good as the AP 6 pot kit.

Just to let you know , the Movit/Porsche calipers are made by Brembo.

Cheers Ian
