Just wondering which brake set up I should go for on the fronts with Ferodo DS2500 pads?

New Ksport 8 pot 330mm or 2nd Hand Ap Racing 6 pots 330mm?

Im looking at the best setup for around £1000, I would not pay 2 grand for a new set of Ap's.

How much would replacement AP racing discs cost? If anyone can send me a website link also that'll be great.

Thanks!

AP's are the better caliper. Just make sure there good 2nd hand units. Pads are a personnel thing. I use The DS3000 & think there the dogs danglys. Use a good brand of disc there's plenty to choose from.Alyn at ASP can help you out.

Brand new D2 brakes seem to be going at good prices from sellers off here.SJ.

As above the D2 6 pots are better for track use than the K-sports as the D2's have 3 large pistons as opposed to 2 small and 2 larger on the Ksports hence giving better even braking across the pads to the disc

Agree the D2's are a better track based setup but for fast road the 8 pot k-sports will handle all you can throw at them as long as you use decent pads.

There are some bargains out there. They just need tracking down.

The Ksport work well with the correct pad, But they don't have the build quality of the AP, Brembo etc.

Expect the bleed nipples to rust within months and the exposed alloy to corrode.

Would I buy them again, The answer is NO.

My current setup which is the Powerstation Porsche 6 pot setup cost me £1300 (this included brand new: pads, Disc, bells, bolts and to have the calipers refurbed with new seals) I picked these up off ebay and had godspeed refurb them for me as I wouldn't trust 2nd brakes that hadn't been checked first
