T2 MSW Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Prob best directing this at Whifbitz but thought id try first. Does anyone know if you can buy just the calipers in the various sizes KAD do. I can get pads, disks etc just cant source the capliers unless I buy them in a kit at the minute. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 cheers, saw that but the KAD online shop is crap. May have to give them a call to see if I could just buy the caliper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Any reason to go for KAD over AP or Brembo Mike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Not a fan of Brembo, personal opinion I simply dont like the way they look. My choice is between AP and KAD, read some good reviews of the KAD and AP look equally as good so guess a combination of KAD calipers and AP floating disks can't be a bad combo. Price is slightly more palletable too (slightly) How come? something I have not considered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Not really, i just wondered if there was something i hadnt considered in going for Brembo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Whats size? Its just one of those personal things, the calipers are 99% the same though since the two companies are now the same. The 1 thing that puts me off AP/Brembo is there is not rear option! Im thinking the 378 front setup and uk rear but with the KAD caliper.

RobSheffield Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Brembo does have a rear option Mike, not sure on AP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 sorry its the AP that does not then Yes they do, they are only available from the USA though. You can also get larger fronts there too. http://www.stillen.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 I stand corrected then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 The KAD's really do the business, we use them on our Time Attack RX7 and Steve Lintons Time Attack Supra along with my own Supra which has seen quite a few track days over the years, they never fail to amaze me.

T2 MSW Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 I have no doubt they are very impressive - im just concerned that they are alot of money for what im going to use them for. What size/type of caliper are the rears Paul? Is it the G or the F and can you buy just the calipers and supra bracket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I'll have to check, cant remember off the top of my head. The rear caliper kit is just the calipers, brackets, pads, hoses anyway, no discs. All the parts can be supplied seperately if needed yes.

T2 MSW Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Ah ok in which case can I have a price for the following - appreciate you have already quoted for the whole lot - im a bit closer to buying them but may have got pads and disks already sorted. Front Calipers, brackets, hoses and if possible Bells without the ap disks? Rear calipers, brackets and hoses some decent 5.1 fluid. Cheers Paul much appreciated.
