Upgrade to what?

The standard ones on the Skyline are good, but in time i'll want to upgrade them. I was lucky enough to get a superb deal on the scoob, and ended up with some 10 pot Tarox brakes with larger rear disc kit as well.
I loved them, the pad wear was good and stopping was superb.
So upgrade list so far consists of Tarox and AP.
Anybody got anything else to consider?

Ksport (8 pot kit in development at the moment for silly money)
Brembo F50 kit
KAD have just launched a very good 6 pot kit
Alcon are superb.
Project Mu are highly rated as well.
Ksport is something I'm considering at the moment. 356mm kit with 8pots for less than a grand, could be a lot less when it's finalised

I've got Project Mju pads and they've improved the braking 3 fold.
Plus uprated discs ... however I wouldn't recommend drilled - get Dan to show a pic of his drilled discs ... you wouldn't touch them after that ...

BB will already have Brembo's anyway Ben so he'll need to go bigger to get better. Good quality drilled dics are still good other wise companies like Porsche would have dropped them years ago. IMHO

Lol
The Ksport sound interesting m8. The Brembo's are good, but discs are showing signs of wear, and rather than just replace the standard stuff, I might as well try and upgrade when I need to change.
Never have been a big fan of drilled discs.
