I have heard mixed reviews about them.

 

I would stick with Ksports they dont cost much more :)

have been looking at the D2s , they are probably in the lead at the mo, but still not sure,still a lot of bobs but i only want to do them once..... having a 99 spec front bumper fitted next week, so there goes a few quid.

It might be worth while having a read of the following discussion (and the links) contained in it, regarding bigger braking kits and ABS, to help make your decision. I had been considering doing a brake upgrade myself at the time of these discussion threads.

D2 = Ksport

it all depends on ur budget....

 

if it is small, go for relocation brackets with 350z brembo set up discs and yellow pads...

if it is big, go for the k-sport 8 pots as suggested by car mad, and zx eyes.

 

its all about how much u wanna spend buddy.

 

Al.

D2 = Ksport

 

Same design but made by different people i believe. like i said ive heard mixed reviews on the D2s (leaking fluid) but only good with ksports ;)

K-Sport and D2 are NOT the same company. However, they are made in the same factory hence the similarity. It seems that the general concensus is that the K-Sport equipment is of superior quality and I personally have never heard any negative reports about them. The D2 equipment - fairly new to the UK market - seems to be aimed at the more "universal" fitment market. At least with the K-Sport equipment you have the assurance that the calipers have been developed around actual BMC performance parameter (so the Nissan kit is not suitable for fitment on a Merc for example).

 

Should you wish to go down the K-Sport route then let me know as I can currently get some very decent prices on their 356mm/8-pot and 330mm/6-pot kits.

 

Regards,

can you pm me regarding prices on the ksport kits please mate and can you also pm me regarding coilovers as i would like some of them as well :D

same manufacturer....same product....just different branding by different sellers.

 

same manufacturer....same product....but inferior quality.....hmmm ! ;)

 

K-sport is better established of the 2 and is the version I would use.

I agree. They have a good reputation and a very decent product spec.

 

I would use them.

Hey mate

 

I have Ksports 8 pot calipers with 350mm disks up front and 6 pots with 330mm disks at the back and they are excellent.

 

I cant recommend them highly enough. Happy for you to have a look / try if you want as your only up the road.
