i know that a few people here are using ksport coilovers but i've searched here on the forums about their bbk but can't find any info on them. anyone here using them? what are your impressions? here's the bbk:

hmmm... it looks IDENTICAL to D2 8-piston bbk. it just looks like calipers have a different color w/ their logo.

 

has anyone use those?

 

Wonder how much either of those kits cost...

 

MSRP is $2650 on the website for front calipers and rotors (330mm)

 

D2 and KSport products are identical. Yes.... they lie and tell everyone each product line is unique. They look ghey!

Sooo... why do you need 8-pot calipers? Because they look nice?

 

How they stop would be more important than how they look though. Wouldn't you agree?

 

I would stay away from K-Sport and D2 products. They buy these parts from cheap taiwan manufacturers and put their logos on them. Then lie and tell everyone that they designed the parts.

 

i agree and that's why i asked if anyone has used this brake kit.

 

i may be purchasing a front kit for my z and see how they do. i've been searching hard to see if there's people already have it (not just the Z), but no luck.

lol i may have to be the guinea pig.

 

let us know if you decide to get it.

 

I don't want to talk **** about a product I've never tried or seen in person, but IMO those look like some cheap ebay crap and I personally wouldn't try them without extensive magazine or first-hand reviews from track guys...

 

i will be that first-hand review guy i guess. i do track the car frequently so hopefully it will be a good review. by the way, i am talkin about the D2 purple stuff, not the ksport one.

the reason why i am willing to try them is because i've seen the setup in person. i feel that it's a quality piece and the price i am accessable to is not too bad.

i will soon, have a 2nd-hand impression... the vehicle (S14 w/ vq35det) that's equipped with D2 8-piston units (8-piston ALL THE WAY AROUND) is not on the road yet. i probably wont get the front kit until i see/feel/hear for myself.

so give me few months... we will see what's up

 

Sounds like a recipe for disaster. I cant think of one good thing that would come out of having 8 piston calipers on the rear wheels. Let me guess they are using the stock S14 proportioning valve and master cylinder?

 

$2650 for 8 pisons.. not bad at all.

 

If I tracked my car I would be going with a proven manufacturer. There are too many proven brake kits out there to be experimenting with a questionable product. Stoptech has a million pad choices for street and track use and is a US company with a good history of racing. Parts are easy to get such as pads and rotors. Endless, Alcon, AP, Brembo, Project Mu all good choices.

eh, all brake components (including OE replacements) are upgraded to Z32/Z33 spec. the master cylinder is Z32 spec.

the owner is skeptical about his setup too... but if it works, it works. if it doesnt, he will do wutever to get it done right haha. and the car does have a "show" aspect to it... one of the reasons why he wanted to TRY 8-piston all the way around.

 

You guys should be aware that these are small pistons. They have a kit for maximas as well and we were all excited. All though these are 8 piston, they are 8 mini pistons. Probably comparable to the 300ZX TT Aluminum calipers that have 4 big pistons.

 

If anyone is interested, im starting an affordable group buy for Wilwood 6 piston BBK both 13" and 14"
