Default Replacement KSport Discs

Had some 330mm ksports on for a couple of years but the discs are now knackered and worn unevenly on each side of the same disc.

Anyone recommend a decent replacement? Using them for road and track use.

Not sure where, Apex or Alyn Performance, godspeed might have them.

Mine have only done 3k miles, mostly motorway and been sat on the car for a while know, very rusty so may need to have them replaced too.

Well mine have done 20k but a buggered. I'm probably going to look at a different brand but now I wish I'd gone with an AP setup from the start

Ask Alyn@AS performance about the replacement or Ben,Ann@Apex Performance.
AP racing discs are direct replacement on K-Sport,this i have confirmed or you can go route of Performance Friction disc and pads combo.

The K sport discs have a step on them where the bells fit , the AP ones don't , the step gives more total offset , if you fit the AP discs without the step on them , the caliper brackets would need machining to suit , which would effectively bring the calipers about 1mm closer to the back of the spokes

Cheers all,

Been on to Apex this morning who have a shipment of discs coming in the week after next for about £320, so will stick with them for now. Gone for some Bluestuff NDX pads though as I'm less than impressed with the DS2500s that I've been using.

If you are doing track days i would suggest Performance Friction Z rated pads,they have great reviews from guys which running the Time attack

I wouldn't hold your breath mate, from personal experience there's not much between 'Bluestuff' and DS2500's, DS3000, now they are different!

I had a pair of K sport discs here a couple of weeks ago and they are different to the AP 330mm discs we also had here , there is a raised step on the K sport discs that the AP one don't have , the K sport discs are also drilled for an 8mm bolt holding the bells in place , the AP's have a 6.4mm , this I have seen and measured for myself ,, and not just here-say !
