supra_si Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 did you get them from new zealand pal?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmunky Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 I did indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 He has good shipping rates but beware that you will get a tax invoice about a week to 2 weeks after delivery from customs. i paid 20 quid for a small hks ssqv in import tax, I hope your bills not too high with the sheers size and weight of the brakes and discs.

madmunky Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Just thought I upgrade my Jspec ones before I go single and well these cheaped alot cheaper the most big brake kits so just wanted to know what they are like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 they are a good price though, been tempted before but resisted for other mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 i think theyre sposed to be ok, i knew a few ppl who were running the kits on their Starlets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbasupra Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Did JamieP run these on his old supe? If i remember i think he said they were ok but is going for a different brand this time round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I think you just have to remember how much you're paying for them. They arent going to be as good as a set of Brembos, but theyre going to be an improvement on "J spec" brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbasupra Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 yeah just checked he had D2's on the front not sure about the rear. He's gone for brembos this time around. Maybe worth a pm to him mate to get his views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Decent value for money and they work ok for a cheap set of brakes, same as the k-sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_si Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 let us know how much import tax they sting you for as well pal. would be useful for others to gauge whether its good value buying from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
