Gamer Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Finally got my new brakes, KAD 6 pots with new discs for the front and 6 pots for the rears that will utilize the stock disc. Hopefully they perform as good as they look. * Please excuse the mess as I took the photos on the dogs bed..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Cool. Bit of a stark contrast to the orange with black wheels though?! Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Didn't fancy going for the 378(!!!!) mil. discs up front then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 I think the 356mm will be up to the job. I did not see the point of adding £500 more to the total. I mean how much better can the 378mm kit be then the 356mm kit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean how much better can the 378mm kit be then the 356mm kit... £500 for 44mm extra sounds a bargain Looking good Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarjo Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Sorry to disappoint you Joe but I've already got 6 pot calipers on the rear, so I guess you're not the first I've also got the 378mm Good stopping power though, so very good choice. Oh, BTW, did I also mention that my cars is on the KAD website? http://www.kad-uk.com/brakekits2.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 About the same difference as those over UK spec brakes? Haha, don't make me start kicking myself.... Another reason why I did not go with the 378mm is they are floating discs and if I remember Sarjo's post not too long ago they make some pretty loud clanking noises when pottering about the town. Jamiep, they do them in any color you like I believe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only my offside after investigation thats rattling, so when I get the car back, going to strip them down and re-adjust which I've been told should do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
