Come on guys (and gals) show me some pix of your front calipers (OEM or aftermarket) as I need some ideas:D (pix with and without wheels fitted are both OK)

 

I have an aftermarket set to fit and I'm undecided on colour/decals so need a bit of inspiration from y'all:)

 

What have you got?..................................................................:confused:

KAD 6 pot with 355mm 2 piece discs.

 

Smithy, how do you find the KAD setup?

 

How do they hold up when used in anger or on a track?

 

Im contemplating a set of these but i cant find anyone who can give any decent feedback on them, especially when it comes to using them in anger on a track

 

Cheers mate

Maybe but just imagine a 35mm thick disc slightly warped and spinning at 150mph then asked to stop in anger the vibration on the disc simple ripped the Brembo from its two mountings.

 

 

Thats the disc in question and the rusty one beside it is from a stock TT

 

Thats slightly worrying

Bloody hell Andy you have a good memory.

Yes thats right but I am told from good authority that it is common practice in motor sport.

Reason I was thinking about that is that will put extra strain on the mounting points, additional leverage etc. Not sure how much, but more nonetheless.
