Default K Sport or Brembo

Now don't ask how this has happened, but I currently have a full set of K-Sport 330 mm 8 pot front and 6 pot rear brand new brakes ready to go on my classic and I also have a full set of 2004 STI Brembos fully reconditioned and including the Godspeed rear conversion kit ready to go on my classic.

I am after knowing which set are going to be the better brakes and then I will sell the others.

So what do you guys think, which is it to be?

would of thought the k sport as some of the big tuners run them on the time attack. as far as i know the brembo suffer from heat soak and then fade due to the casting as when they get hot the flex under heavy breaking but that can be sorted by a set of performace friction pads and disks i think. although they are meant to perform better on a classic compared to the newage as the cars are heavier or something

just my 2 bits and i am sure if i am wrong i will be corrected

Yes logic sort of tells me the K Sports are the way to go even if they don't have the 'name' on the street. 8 pot/6 pot calipers and a good rep with those who have them mean I think they are going to be a little better than the Brembos.

Will_wrx, if I sell the Brembos I will be looking for around £750 as they are fully reconditoned, now painted black (professionally), come with discs, new pads, new braided hoses and the conversion kit for the rear fitment on classics. They have never been fitted since painting and reconditioning so are more or less as new.
