KAD Brakes Fitted

Big thanks to Whifbitz for supplying these and all the advice whilst I was looking at what I was after.

 

Fitted the KAD's at the weekend. Was a much easier job than I was expecting as the disks came off with little effort and after spending time cleaning the hubs up I had next to no run out.

 

Very impressed with the performance from the massive 378 AP's up front even with taking it easy whilst the are run in.

 

Unfortunatly I seem to have the same issue as Ben with the rears, even though mine are the four pots and im using different pads they rattle about which becomes rather annoying after a while. So Paul even if Kad tells you the four pot fixes this issue - They would be wrong, are they sure the pad references are right they give out with the kits?

That will be intersting to know Ben. Would that be why your not at Snetterton tomorrow night then?

 

As the pads have worn the backs have sorted themselves out and are a quiet as a mouse. After the 1200 miles round trip to france at low speeds the fronts now make a horrific rattling noise, I was warned that floating AP disks were noisey but this sounds like they are going to fall apart. When you apply the brake even a small amount it stops. Im going to have a look at the weekend and take some pics etc may have to get hold of some pads to do some testing with :search:

They are quite a deep blue but im well impressed with them. The do full the wheels but I still recond they would go under 18's as there is loads of room when you look closely.

 

I will have to give it a try at some point before i invest in some cheap wheels for track days.

The backs are fine now the pads have bedded in but the fronts make alot of noise. I was warned that floating disks make alot of noise but its quite bad at the minute. I need to take them off and check them as at the minute is sounds more like the pads moving about than the floating disk moving on the bell.
