K-tec brake setup

[samcourtney86]

Anyone got anyone comments on this setup.. was hoping for fourpots but cant afford it now. Are these discs and pads any good? Thanks, Sam

Mark @ Ritchspeed sells 4-pots very cheap!

Well worth considering....

k-tec's arent worth it imo.

Pad is basically ebc's basic pad, discs are really no different to standard except drilled - and this is coming from someone who has had them. I'm not running ferodo pads on the k-tec discs, and its a bit better imo.

Standard discs and pagid pads would be my choice, unless 4pots were an option.

Dont go drilled they crack!!!

 

[Friction]

they do, but mine have lasted 35k.

I would never buy drilled, I have heard too many horror stories

get some Brembo 'grp N' discs and pagid fast road pads.

apart from a little squeeking when they are cold, it's a good set up for the car.

can calipers be bought i.e 4 pot, separatley but run standard discs pads etc.. ?

fancy some 4 pot`s + standard calipers always look a bit naff compared with brembo, ap, willwood etc..

You can make anything fit if you have the skills, its only a case of bracketwork.

I made up a kit my self using Porsche 4 pots and 310 x 32mm discs.

ooo nice i like. grrm i want dudey breaks too but dont know where to begin buying wise and what to get. do want new calipers though.

First you need to know what discs you will be using, and then go from there.

 

[Lunner]

Mark Ritchspeeds 4 pot kit is deisgned toe run on std 172 discs £280mm) or std williams discs (259mm).

You can't use std pads due to the different shape of the caliper

 

[stu8v]

Also dont bother with all these no-make alloy calipers, stick with AP, Brembo, Alcon, Wilwood.
If you dont you will struggle for spares such as seals etc if needed, the best option is to get some of of another road car that has brembo's.
