Which would you choose, both with DS2500 pads and 330mm grooved discs.

For fast road use. Just wondering if the k-sports are any better than the brembo.

i found that trying to source a reasonably priced set of calipers, and then a decent disk/pad combo made the brembos cost only slightly less than the k-sports
so i figured (for the sake of 150ish at the time) that i'd be be better off going for new

Nothing to do with corporate sponsorship there then.
Why spend twice as much when the ksports do an awesome job.

OK, Ive now got some K-sport Calipers complete with brand new DS2500 Pads, all I need is some discs to go with them.

I think the design of the ap disc copes with the extreme heat slightly better Ian.

So it is worth paying the extra as the AP's are better
