Default k-sport brakes getting fitted on tuesday

i cant wait to tuesday when i get my k-sport 330mm 8 pots fitted to my scooby with yellow stuff pads, got a caliper re-furb kit(new stainless steel pistons and seals) for the rear calipers and new ian godney rear pads, hope this kit is good as my brakes are shocking at the minute, what do people think of the k-sport kits are they that good.
Next will be suspension mods.

Youll be amazed at the difference. Proper brakes are one of the most impressive performance mods you can do.

Note that we have a special deal on the KSport kits at the moment, just £699 for 330mm and £799 for 356mm. Theres a price increase on 3rd Jan to £899 and £999 respectively so nows the time to buy if you are considering a kit

I had them on my skyline and when going around town i kind of felt like i wasted my money, however when the skybus went to the 400hp mark and and went on the back roads these came into their own and outbraked anything on the road i came accross and that was with K sport pads

Here is a few pics to get you in the mood lol

picking my car up in a mo from the garage, after having my new front k-sports fitted, and rear caliper re-furb had brand new stainless pistons fitted with ian godney pads fitted and stainless hoses!

Also while its in the garage it was due an engine service so new oil, oil filter and magnetic sump plug, diff and gearbox oil to, and a new cambelt and water pump with a cool running thermostat and lightweight pulleys and new spark plugs! cant wait to drive it should be nice and smooth!

Next on the list will be the suspension.

The verdict?

Was it worth the plunge?
