ktr fast road brake kit

[GAV1]

has any one got this set up?

front http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1148

rear http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1574

is it any good have looked on yozza and gdi both do front kits but not rear

can anyone suggest a front and rear set up my current brakes are scary after giving it some!

 

[edde]

Stock rears are fine. Personaly most drilled etc are a wate badly made etc.

 

[Peperami]

Id recommend...

Front - Ferodo ds2500 pads, brembo high carbon disks, goodrich braided lines and dot 4 fluid.

Rear - Stock discs and pads, braided lines.

 

[GAV1]

thanks for the reply decided the ktr kit was a little pricey so have ordered mintex extreme pads,brembo high carbon disks and goodridge hoses from gdi has to be better than the sponges i have now!

cheers gav

 

[BexKTR]

the mintex ones are far better than the price would suggest... for road they are the best value imo.

 

[Fred@BTM]

mintex extreme are rubbish, avoid with a barge pole, sorry!

 

[BexKTR]

we have had many many very happy customers who have used the mintex pads, with ZERO complaints

 

[Fred@BTM]

they're still s**t pads

 

[BexKTR]

OK!

 

[Fred@BTM]

Peter Knivett called me the other day, he's got some of your Leda coilovers for sale if you know anyone interested

 

[Peperami]

I heard hes rubbish at setting up clios...

 

[Fred@BTM]

you heard wrong:rasp:

 

[BexKTR]

off topic

I have K tecs drilled discs all round with kevlar pads at back and greenstuff pads up front and stainless steel hoses all round too. They all come highly recommended by myself. I also told Daz on here about them and he will tell you the same as me. Put it this way i stop.....

I'm putting Brembo HC discs & EBC kevlar pads on my 172 next month....be interesting to find out if they better the stock setup which, IMHo is pretty good.

 

[CoupeDean]

I got them on my coupe.

They aint no better than standard..... "performance" disks and pads are a bit of a gimmick on road cars tbh.

My honest review would be they are the same performance as reno disks and pads but they stay that good for their entire life, the Renault ones fade as the disks and pads glaze up.

These KTR ones dont corrode at all either which is good.

Other notes would be pads last half the time and braking is more noisy. Can get squeeks too as the pads are always clean.

I bought this set up from Yozzasport. Highly reccomended fitted last week just about bedded them in brilliant response. Cheers Fred. Also added extra of a company with great customer service. Few and far between nowadays if you ask me.

2 x Brembo High Carbon 280mm Front Discs

Front Axle Set Green Stuff Pads

4 x Moquip Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses

 

[BexKTR]

The Greenstuff pads are very good these days.. also sell quite a few of them.

 

[Se7en172]

Ben the customer servce stab was not aimed at you my friend I am yet to deal with you so cannot comment.

 

[BexKTR]

eh!>?

 

[Se7en172]

Sorry thought you were a sales rep. Got the wrong end of the stick.

Anyway Go for the above Yozzasport set up its a road users must.
No need for anything else for on the road

 

[BexKTR]

unless you are driving very fast on the road, its perfect really.

 

[Andy_J]

i've got brembo max discs, ferodo DS2500's, braided lines and dot5.1 and it is sexual.

 

[Se7en172]

Homo, Bi, or Hetro?

 

[s88urd]

all of the above,
Ive got brembo HC discs, goodridge lines and textar (EH?!) pads
To be honest for a brand i havent heard of they work well.
Just waiting for someone to sell me better pads hint hint lol

 

[Andy_J]

Deffo Bi.. takes plenty of abuse and keeps coming back for more!

 

[Se7en172]

\whats the difference between the goodridge lines and the Moquip Braided Brake Lines

 

[Andy_J]

different manufacturer..

 

[Se7en172]

IS that it
Jokey

 

[Andy_J]

i would think they would be pretty much identical, i think i've got moquip ones.

 

[Se7en172]

Go with the Yozza set up all the way

 

[Peperami]

Has anyone else warped a set of brembo hc's? Is this normal?

 

[Fred@BTM]

^very uncommon

moquip (mocal) Vs goodridge lines, identical items

Oh. Think ive warped the front discs slightly monday. Will i be ok to try get one more trackday out of them before replacing? Still useable, just judder sometimes under braking.
