D2 brakes?>?

Thinking of getting so d2 brakes 8 pot but was wondering if anyone has any info on them are they good or bad or even if they know of any better brakes?? thanks

There good, not the best, but ok. If I were you I'd go for the Stoptech brakes, they get rave reviews and aren't a huge amount more than the D2's.

What brakes are fitted at the moment?

They will only be as good as your tyres and suspension set up to be honest. If these are not in order then you will have bought yourself some expensive paperweights.

Yep.... that is true.

i know a member with d2's, and i'd happerly use them!

all depend on suspension/tyres and pads you use- nice set off tr 1's or 888's coilovers wound up nice and tight but not full to allow weight to shift forward unbraking and some Froddeo pads... DS3000's i think are the aggressive pads...

What about the k-sport ones Paul has on offer?

Thanks guys erm im Running tein suspension and tr1 tyros at the mo need new set after drifting sad times.

What brakes do you currently have on the car?

The UK setup with some CW pads will be more than enough for road and occasional track use.

I would rather have refurbished UK calipers than Chinese made 8 pots. A good quality stiff and efficient 4 pot caliper is better than multiple pistons in a casting or billet that flexes. 8 pot calipers on a road / track day car are a gimmick, and really for GT endurance race cars that need a huge pad area on massive discs to last the distance without pad changes. They give, per se, more pedal travel than a 6 pot for no real advantage. If you can afford them, Alcon, AP or Brembo calipers are FAR better made. If not UK brakes with decent pads, and a fluid change to something performance orientated, should be fine. If the "look" of a big anodised caliper proclaiming "8 pot" on it is important then you may be swayed by the Chinese ones.

What Chris said and getting some braided lines would be one of the best upgrades you could do.

thanks everyone grate help!
