Noz Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I know various threads have compared the two different types, and results seem to say that they perform the same (given on size). Was wondering if anyone had actually upgraded from Uk Spec brakes to K-Sport and felt any difference. I would assume due to being similar in performance the change would have to be to a much larger set of brakes to warrent the purchase. Random question I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey. Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Have a search through the k sport thread that Paul did, there are a few people who have done this, when I spoke to Paul about it he said that Braking isnt improved massively, but braking feel is a lot better and with updated pads they would last longer on track days etc. but I had uk's with cw pads all round on mine and never had a problem even when I went single. Tbh there is probably better places to be spending the cash at the minute on yours, plenty of 700-800hp cars with uk's who have no issues. Edited December 10, 2011 by Bailey.

Josh Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I know I've "only" got 350bhp, but the UK brakes have been perfectly fine in all situations. They slow the car very well from fairly decent speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Its been said before, unless youre running silly speeds and powers, UK spec calipers with good pads and braided hoses is all the braking power you will ever need on the street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
