Need some more help in the market for front brakes complete. Been looking around has anyone good any sugestions ? Has anyone had any dealings with D2, COMP BRAKES , etc or is it just a case of k sport thanks mike.

The K sports are highly rated, but not sure about the longevity of them.
Others on here run them so can advise better.

Had bad experience with smaller Compbrakes (CompB4 caliper for 16" wheels) but I'm led to believe their current 330/356mm kits are much better.

It depends on the budget really.

You cant beat AP if you have the money to do it.
K sports are a very good alternative. They are making their way onto mine shortly...

I can get HiSpec stuff and they do a 335mm or a 360mm 4 0r 6 pot kit.
What size wheels have you got?

You don't need fancy brakes Mike, they only make you go faster. I have a couple of old LPs and a ham sandwich you can have

I run on 8x18 with a 35mm off set so plenty of room. Thanks mike. And thanks for that gerry will keep that in mind.

8 pots 356mm front
6 pot 330 mm rear

with performance friction 01 pads - you cant beat pf pads :thumb:

ps - sorry Gerry good plan but I think Mike saw the flaw in it
