So I'm rebuilding my toy KaRST as a weekend car. It has Wilwood 4-pots on the front and going back together with Focus rear calipers. My plan has been to remove the rubbish Ka servo setup which has terrible pedal feel due to the flex in the bulkhead/linkage of transfer bar. I was planning using the OBP Ka pedal box but I've been having reservations recently. Can anyone comment on using an usassisted brake setup on a road car? I'm not going to need a nice light pedal for around town but it does need to be manageable. Can anyone comment on OBP kit and the use of their pedal boxes on road cars?

Thanks.

 

I wouldnt go near them. ask luke with the trolley how little force he put on the obp brake pedal when it bent!!

 

+1 , total shower of shit.

Utter shite




Go for Tilton or AP

tilton

 

They are shite mate stay well clear & I am speaking from experience.

 

Looking on ebay they have +4k sales and 99.8% + feedback. If they were that shite then surely they would not have good rep on their ebay account?

I don't know the company from Adam - just was curious and had a look. I am not going against current comments but the feedback rating by default must mean there are an awful lot of happy customers out there......

 

Or a lot of people who haven't used a Tilton/AP one

 

Mainly down to the product "looking good" out the box, so feedback is left to mirror this.

It's a whole new ballgame when you come to fit the product!!!!
Then it's too late to leave shit feedback.

IMO of course

 

You get what you pay for mate.
iirc the kit Luca had was avery early one with unbelievably poor design pedals. The ones available nowadays of similar spec are circa Ł300 for the pedal box, bias adjuster, cylinders, pipes and resevoirs. Try and get a Tilton or AP for that,lol.

Think about what youre paying for though, stopping is a fairly important part of driving and is not the area to scrimp in.

 

Thanks all. Looks like I might need to look for another option...

Anyone with Ka and Pedal box experience?
