Default STI Brembos vs K.A.D Engineering 6 Pots

Right, I currently have Gold STI Brembos fitted to my classic but have never used them as have been building the car up over the past year. I have just bought another classic to break and it has K.A.D 6 pots with 2-piece discs in vgc. I have done a little research on the KAD's and they seem to be very good brakes and definitely not cheap. Which ones should I keep hold of? Will be running 380-400 bhp and my driving style is "spirited" but wont be doing any track days. Cheers

KAD are very good and while not qute as good as AP they will offer a good upgrade
the pad choice and 2pce disc set-up would edge them over std style Brembo's IMO.......

Cheers Alyn, do you think there will be much between them in terms of braking force? Pads need replacing, assume I can use AP?

If you're not using it on track i'd stick with the Gold Brembo's with good pads and sell on the others as i doubt you'd make use of them on the road without driving like a mental!
