KSport Big Brake Kits
Ok tried this at G35 driver with no responses. Might as well try here.
Anybody have any experience with KSport BBKs? Just found a place that has them 13", 8 piston caliper for less than 1500, and 14 " for like 2000. I have always kinda went by you get what you pay for, but the pictures look pretty good.

I have been looking at a lot of BBKs, and haven't seen any calipers similar to these. Of course they could be a proprietary design, being built by some one else. It says G35 because I went in that way. If you go in through 350Z, it lists the same kit as 350Z.

It looks like they are actually about $16XX is you take the RC1 pads, depends on what your looking for i guess. I think they are pretty nice though, considering these or the Megan for my setup.

i see them for 1428 with free shipping. you upgraded the brake pad for 195 thats why the price went up.

So how hard is it to get pads and rotors for these when they wear out?

^Exactly what I was thinking. Probably have a hell of a time finding Pads and Rotors when they wear out, or have to order then straight from Japan unlike you would have to do with say Stoptech, Brembo or Wilwood.
Befor buying I would research replacement pads/rotors and ask that company if they have the resourses to get them, how long and price.

If modeled means copied than it could be true, but I am not sure which AP racing caliper was copied, some of their new designs have different piston diameters while D2 piston are the same. I would ask the vendor about those improvements, I am really curious about the answer
Don't ge me wrong though, D2s are fine for street driving, but comparing them to APs is a huge mistake.
