Thanks Woolls...the piston size is what I am most interested in and whether they change based on the rotor diameters they are paired with

[R31Nismoid]

I can get measurements for ya as well (8 piston 356mm kit). Mick @ MiColour has a set off-car, so do Import Monster.

Both i'll be seeing next week

just a quick question in relation to these big brake kits and rather then make a new topic, are D2/K-Sport all same quality? or is one better then the other.

i remember reading a thread about a member having issues with his K-Sport brake kit.

so kinda dont wanna experience this dilemma.

Yep they are all the same in terms of quality. They come out of the same factory.

The "review" of the k-sport ones does have a bit wrong with it, ill cover that later. with a write up I'm working on. Just haven't had spare time the past month to sit down and do it.

Sure am, almost sorted it out and the pricing, looking VERY affordable with ADR approved lines too

Had a set on my car now to test for 4-5 months and am happy with the performance even using the "china" pad that comes with them.

Thanks R31Nismoid!

keen on updates of your group buy.

i did read somewhere before that you were trying a set out and was wondering what happened to it.

[zebra]

dammit, another product that they dont make for my car

would have been keen on the GB too.

Oh well, will have to go back to looking at Wilwood kits

[ssxRicho]

Brand: ksport

Piston QTY: 8

Rotor Size: 330

Piston Diameters: will get once off, but they looked the same as the 356 kit on maddens car.

[Luke_ENR34]

my 8pot brembo's are like 43,41mm piston sizes

[Roy]

If thats true Luke you are in for a world of hurt. Are they off a Range Rover, Hummer etc ? They often come with nice and tasty big brakes but cant really be retrofitted to cars

[ssxRicho]

I've got heaps of pad left and little motivation to pull the things off.

But the pistons on the leading edge (2) are larger than those on the trailing edge.

The pad for the 330mm and 356mm is the same pad.

I'll look again in the next few days but there the same 8pots as the Lambo Gallardo, R8 etc.

[MrStabby]

Update with diameters;

Brand: G4

Piston QTY: 8

Rotor Size: 330x32 mm

Piston Diameters: 1 x 31mm, 3 x 26mm

They are the same or look the same? For instance people generically call F50 calipers the ones with the 44/40mm pistons. But F50s have a range of part numbers and externally look identical to one another...but have many difference piston combinations. I have see F50s with 46/44mm pistons...and I think the 4 pot Brembo off FPV Fords are similar...at around 48/44mm so if you put them on a Nissan they would be horrible.

So your family of 8 pots may be the same as the Lambo etc but they could be a different part number, and given what you are saying about the piston sizes it could be a horrible mismatch.

Somebody, not sure if it was you posted a while ago they had 6 pot or 8 pots off a Range Rover or something which makes me think they are a risk to buy unless you know the piston sizes or are going for a full custom brake install with big gears, boosters and changed pedal ratios

[turboedsloth]

What are the piston diameters like on your Stoptechs Troy and how are they handling the track work you've put them through?
