Kido Brake Upgrade For R32 Gtr

[SHIRUBA_XXXIII]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has used the Kido 6-pot big brake kit on their R32 GTR?

Looks like a well designed kit, and priced nicely too (~1500) but I'm a tad worried as I have only one first hand experience with the brand Kido, and that was in a friends civic (he had Kido coil overs). They're manufactured in Taiwan, and I assume are similar quality and manufacturing process as D2 and the likes of other companies that manufacture brake's in Taiwan.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these brakes, and can shed some light on performance, durability, build quality and general use.

I've also found a Wilwood big brake kit with brembo rotors for ~1100 which I am almost tempted to purchase because I have a bit more faith in the brand, however these are 4 pot brakes not 6 like the Kido'.

Here is link to Kido brakes on Ebay:

have you seen the brake group buy thats running at the moment? Probably a better option if your happy with these sort of kits

The number of "pots" on a caliper doesn't mean much, its the surface area you worry about.

but anyway ^ as stated... IMO you are crazy to consider anything like that given the huge GB SAU has landed for brakes

That Kido kit is $300 for shipping, and non-ADR lines, and unproven... Risky business when the D2 Racing is a well know/proven upgrade

This is true, that does look like a good buy and would work out to similar pricing. I've just spent my spare pennies on a PowerFC so hopefully I can save up enough to get on the D2 GB before I closes!

Thanks guys!
