Rocket Ronnie uses them on his Skyline, can't be that bad.

There's a lad selling a pair of 6 pots and 380mm rotors and bells in 2WD fittment on here I believe.

KAD are a good company. British designed and made.....

380mm brakes are massive for road/track use though???

If you want cheap big brakes get K-sport, D2 or XYZ.
