Default k-sport 8 pots

are they any good in comparison to AP 8 pots considering the money saving and noticeably different to std 4 pots considering they are around twice the price, i have seen k-sport fronts on here for about £700-£800 new inc disks and pads

I understand the K-Sports to be excellent value for money but I went for the AP Racing 6 pots.

I bought a set a few months back, have to say they are superb. Never tried Ap's though to be honest. But i was in the same situation. Was going to buy Ap 6 pots for the front. Then looked on the group buy and seen i could get front and backs for about the same money. So i bought 8 pot fronts on 330mm discs and 6 pot rears on 330's.

Done a couple of track days and a few Good runs on them. They never miss a beat. Never faded either, very good feel even when cold.

You won't regret it!

Firstly, I agree with Daz187. I also got K-Sports front and rear for the same money I was looking at spending on AP fronts. No regrets, they are just awesome!

On mine, yes, the pedal now takes earlier, but the feel is still very good. The braided lines which come with the K-Sport kit, no doubt helps.

Pedal fell is indeed very good but the braided hose mounting brackets are absolute rubbish so i ordered some goodridge ones as these come with the correct fitting gear.

As for apex
