I don't stock it as such mate, the KAD kit at 1.5K deffo not.

The SPL suspension parts i just bring in when ever asked. The DBA discs i can supply, the Porterfields too of course and the rear calipers were sent to a company called Biggred down south who just do caliper refurbs which includes new pistons, seals etc and professionaly painted in either Red or teflon black/grey, that costs £120 a pair and they do look well done :cool:

So are they carbon discs then smithy? :confused:

no mate, the pic is showing the disc a little darker than they really are, a dark grey really, taken from KAD below.

Gotta say this is one sexy kit when fitted, just wish you could get spokeless wheels to show em off :rofl:

 

"Discs: Along with the brake pads these are the heart of the braking system, the discs must be able to absorb and dissipate the heat generated by braking friction whilst remaining thermally stable. KAD use precision ground, curved vane grey iron discs which have been heat treated during manufacture. Grinding the discs after turning ensures the discs remain totally flat and have minimum thickness variation. The fine finish produced by grinding reduces bedding in time. This with careful balancing assists in removing two of the causes of brake juddering developing. The curved vane disc is able to run cooler as it can pump a greater quantity of air through the vents than cheaper to produce straight vane OE type discs and increases the thermal stability of the discs greatly reducing both deflection of the unsupported section of cast iron between the vanes and the likelihood of cracking developing."

cheers
