Default K sport brake kits.

Anyone on here use them, how is the quality and how do they perform?

Would you rate them at all?

Any info would be greatly received

A couple of members over on the STOC have them. They squeal like fook no matter what you do to them, the pad overhangs the disc (dangerous I should imagine) and there have been fitting issues with needing to file bits off to get them to fit. Not what you should expect from quite an expensive bolt on kit.

Superb bits of kit from what I've seen. Avoid their own pads as they're poo.

The old man had them on his skyline. 380mm 8 pots on the front and 350 mm 6 pots on the back.

They did squeal with std pads but upgraded to ebc and they were amazing.

I have got the same set up on my evo, they work really well with the right pads.
