Rob_Mitchell Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hey guys i have enquired about some ksports front and rear (8pot front and 4 pot rear with 356mm discs) Has anyone run D2's?? i cant seem to find if they do the big brake kit in a rear option? plus i dont like purple colour so need to locate them in black. Im sure a 356mm disc will go under the dolucks Any opinions and help is much appreciated (BUT IM NOT GOING UK SPEC SO KEEP THAT AWAY FROM THE THREAD ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (BUT IM NOT GOING UK SPEC SO KEEP THAT AWAY FROM THE THREAD ) How come? I know that they are rated much better than the D2's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky_waR Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I have KAD 356mm Front Discs and 6 Pot Brake Calipers.. The brakes are brutal.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiFlash Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Would you consider Brembo's off an EVO? I know that the rear's bolt straight on and go over Jspec Disks. The fronts will need brackets etc. Purple is cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Just paint them red and pop some Brembo stickers on them Rob Or get those hot looking covers you can get Edited February 29, 2012 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 They do offer D2 rears Rob mate. There was a seller on eBay a while back doing both the fronts and the rears, think they were a foreign outfit though?! You won't go far wrong with the KAD's mate. Steve L still has these on the track monster, and having had my teeth planted in his dashboard on more than one occasion, I can vouch for there stopping power!! Lol. What also really appealed to me was having a UK based company. Just means rebuilds, parts and any warranty issues will be a lot easier to handle than with the foreign makes. You can also get the KAD's in loads of different colours, unlike the D2's which are all purple I believe (there was a more pink colour on the early ones then they changed it to the deep purple currently on sale)? Paul Whiffin is your man for KAD's having sold and used them on a few different types of jap motor over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still love the look of orange ksports but the limited edition D2's in black look very nice but i cant find the rears in black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Please leave the thread and never return :spank: Sorry mate couldn't resist What are the K Sports like ? I would want Brembo's but thats going to be £5k or there abouts to do the fronts and rears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Ksports are nice brakes and i have read good things. Not too bad on the wallet but what ever i go with its got to be front and rear as i hate just seeing the fronts done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Gaz Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 It nots just a matter of them looking better having front and rear, it can't help if the fronts are massive and powerful and the rears sucky little j-specs for brake bias. I am putting together evo8 front and rears at the moment, so far they look pretty good. I will post up a thread when they are all done.

Bossco Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 D2 will do them in any colour you want if you drop them an e-mail. They charge you for it though, as you would expect. I looked into it 2 years back before I went UK. I just didnt want purple breaks. The price for all 4 calipers and discs was out of my range at the time but I dont regret using the toyota 4 pots. The difference between them and Jspec's is unreal. Why not strip a UK set and powdercoat them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Uk Spec calipers are just not the look i like. I fancy a flash set and i know they will still give me decent performance too. Jusr looked into other colours on D2's but its $100.00 A caliper extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Gaz Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 It would be less to send them to a good bodyshop to get them to do it. Godspeed brakes do full brake refurbs for £75 per caliper, I bet it would be less to just spray them up. Godspeedbrakes.co.uk for more info.
