Go on the traders bit, K-Tech has a cliosport club members section on their website where you can get that kit at a very reasonable price:

They've just released a bundle pack consisting of the HC discs, DS2500 pads and their braided lines.

I think that will be very popular on here tbh!

Thats the kit in the bottom link in post 5

Are these discs the same size as standard?

Do people declare these as mods?

I would don't give them any excuse not to payout if you have a claim.

ds2500 ~ 100 from yozzasport
brembo hc ~ 115 per pair @ gsf
braided lines ~ 60 + new fluid + fitting

for discs use standard till they need changing then go to brembo

Surely better brakes should decrease the premium. Better stopping power less chance of having an accident (in theory).

Warping shouldn't really occur unless your holding the pads on the discs when hot while stopped. So long as you didn't over cook them they should be better than the standard discs really

Think the 'argument' is that you put better brakes on so are more likely to drive like a loon

Yeah I suppose and they'll probably try and say it's more desirable to thieves also.

I havent had chance to do much searching. Is the ktec package the cheapest?

How good are the DS2500's from cold?

DS2500s are very bad for brake judder when they get hot, smearing over the disc and I would never recommend using them. Dusty too.

I agree the factory setup is awesome for occassional heavy use, but for uprated pads I would avoid Ferodo.

they ok for road use, tend to squeak a bit tho till warmed properly.
Biggest issue i had with oem was non braided lines. When i needed to stop in a hurry standard fluid heated and rubber lines expanded. oem pads + discs were ok till i did a few 'proper laps' but couldnt cop it when hot.

Never had an issue with ds2500. full track day and they performed really well, no juddering or issues.
I tend to find, the better the pad, the more dust you see and you generally get what you pay for.
