ksport brakes

[syrushcw]

Every time I search this forum for ksport brakes I always come up with coilovers, so does anyone use these brakes? Ive been looking at the 14" rotor 8 piston calipers IS there something wrong with them because I haven't read anything about them for dsm's.

They look just dandy, but for a MSRP of $2700, Todd at TCE should be able to hook you up much cheaper.

Price isn't the problem I found them for a little over 1300 but like i said ive seen no review on them or anyones input hopefully someone on this board is using them.

 

[Carmenpzito]

where did you find them for 1300???? they looked nice to me from what ive seen. ill admit ive been wondering about their quality too.

 

[syrushcw]

weaponspeed.com has them Ive got other stuff from them and never had a prob thats why Im wondering about there quality and only vendors cant post prices if they are under msrp right? Sorry mods.

14-inch rotors? if your going for looks im sure they would do just fine. I complain enough about my 13-inch rotors in weight. And im assuming your not road racing hardcore so its just for bling.

Yea Pretty much

I remember looking at a european Evo forum (earlier Evos) and a bunch of them where running them. Seems like overkill.

Why not get a nice brembo setup. Why do you need that big of rotors?

 

[syrushcw]

I was debating on evo brembo but its pretty much for show and bling factor like D_Eclipse9916 said

Any word on the Ksport 8 piston brakes? I mean $1500 is dandy price for an 8 pistons brake setup but I don't want to put my life on the line on something that's unproven.

Adding big brake rotors increases rotating mass and unsprung weight. This means that you need to have the right springs and dampers to handle the extra weight. Increasing rotating mass now slows acceleration because you are putting a portion of your power into making a mass sping up (think gyros). Also, more rotating mass on the wheels decreases turn-in.

IF you want the BLING just get these:
