Hey

Question regarding bang for buck brake kits

The KAD big brake kit plus pads comes to 971.46 British pounds ($1598.60)

What does Wilwood / Tarox offer to fit in under 13" rims?

Who is the brake guru? talk to me..

josh you could go swift brakes or cino brake kit with booster for a lot less.

if it has to be KAd mini ones then great bit these other conversions fit under 12's or 13' and pull up hard.

Gtitec sells them.

They bolt up to mini uprights too, less stuffing about

is there a 4 pot equivalent in say ap, wilwood etc that would do close to the same thing as the 6 pots, with a cheaper price tag?

Looks like im steering towards the KAD 4 pots, well priced I think. would like peoples thoughts on this choice, compared to wilwood products please.

I have two sets of KAD brake setups, one is a 7.9" vented 4 pot setup on my Starlet conversion the first time i took the car to a race track the brakes cooked the fluid and afterwards the calipers started leaking. The aluminium pistons tranfered too much heat from the pad to the fluid. I have now changed to stainless pistons and have had no further problems.
The other setup is a 8.4" vented setup on my race car, never had any problems with them at all. These still have aluminium pistons.
The good thing with KAD 4 pots is that they use easy to get parts like pisons, seal and pads because they are the same as metro turbo brakes.

Great, this is just the kind of thing that is worth knowing.

So the KAD 4 pots are just a lighter copy of the metro brakes?
