Better than UK spec front brakes/Complete set up


StuartW

Recommended Posts

I need more than UK spec with Hawk green Pads, I know i can spend £2000+ for a new set of AP's or something but wondered if anyone had any used sets or a 6 pot front set up?

Or any ideas on new sets at good prices.

 

I aim to do more track days next year and just want more stopping power and the safety of less brake fade.

 

Currently full weight with 577hp @ hubs.

18" Lexus wheels with good clearance on the UK's

 

Anyone help?

What about something like range rover sport discs and pads? Dcarter has been running them on his car now for quite a few months now and can possibly make you a mounting kit.

And plenty of spare change left over to sort the rears out.

Thanks Jamie, I had a good look but only seem to be like new greddy kits where the front set alone is £2500

 

Do you mind me asking what you paid for your set and if i will have any issues with clearance?

 

Cheers

 

I paid £3270 for my front and rear full kit, there was some import duty but i cant remember what now.

works out under £1860 for complete set up 356mm with 8 pots all round!

 

They look the same as these D2 kits on ebay..

What is the going rate to ask a "Fair" price for a good set of used UK set up with hawk pads please? Not cooked,or warped. Finished in Nice Ceramic paint Blue with Supra Logo's?

Zen Performance used them in 2009 on there Time Attack car so they cant be that bad!

 

I normally sell used UK spec brakes for about £400 approx.

I'm interested in these brake kits too. The D2's are the ones I was going for, but the K-sports look identical.

 

Paul while you're here, maybe you could answer this for me. Are the K-sport 8 pot front calipers wider than UK calipers?

 

I have UK brakes on mine at the moment and have very little clearance between the wheel and the face of the caliper. If they were any wider I'll need spacers.

Sorry mate, only just seen this. I'm pretty sure there about the same, K-Sport do have all the measurements available if needed. Pretty sure they'll clear your wheels though.
