Default k sport brakes,....

Has anyone had any experience with the k sport brake kit? I ordered the kit over two weeks ago and they still haven't come in. The dealer said the chinese were celebrating chinese new year, and that is what has set all orders back.

LOL could be true. I ordered something once and it took a while because it was some kind of national holiday festival 3 day long thing. I think it was Canada Taiwan or something. Most of the business' shut down for a few days or even a week.

Ok. I went on line to solidify the story! It is true. They celebrate the new year during this time. This year, the new year is on the 7th of this month. but they do take two weeks to celebrate with family and friends. On the
15th, they have the day of the lantern, from which is the last celebrated day of the celebration.
But I still don't understand how this affects shipping to the states. But so far, I'm buying it. I will still be waiting.

K-Sport is a Phoenix,AZ based company, but the products they sale could be made out of Japan. There products they are a good quality, since there local here a lot of people use them. I haven't heard of one problem yet on any product they make. And I am not 100% sure but I think that it is a 6 pot front and 4 pot rear. But I could be wrong on that. On a side note, my friend is running a set of coilovers they make and they are sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am thinking of getting rid of my HKS's for some!!!!!!!!

Looks to be a 4 or 6 piston front to me. Are the calipers orange or red? Hard to tell.

Also I am quite sure Ksport is a China or Taiwan based company AZVeilsideZ.

cal z what are your thoughts so far?

K-Sport is made overseas. K-Sport's office is in Gilbert, AZ (Right by Vivid).

Nick has always had goog product. I remember when he showed me the first 12-POT BBK they were coming out with!!

8-piston front 6-piston rear. Yeah, I have heard about the suspention parts but not much on the brakes. And they do come from Japan. That was why I had to wait for the order to arrive. On a side note, do you Know Clayton Peck? He lives there in arizona and has a 350z and is the founder of NboundZ racing? I went to school with him is why I asked.

The Brakes perform well! I wouldn't have it any other way with my twins. I really recommend these for any high performance engine mod, back up. Go fast, Stop faster! They work well! I am impressed.

Yah, name doesn't sound familiar. I might recognize him by his car though. And for the person asking if they're red or orange. You can order orange or black calipers. And not to sure but I think k-sport has really good prices on their products.(compared to there competitors)
