The only thing that has held me back from upgrading my brake calipers is the availability of the pads and rotors/consumables.

How many aftermarket calipers have support from other pad manufacturers? Or once you buy their caliper, are you stuck with a brand's pads too?

I'll keep that in mind, there is a few other bits that I may want (if you still have them) in the future.

Most aftermarket calipers are based upon either Alcon or AP Racing.. so pads shouldnt be a problem

Speak to Jarod at Blustar mobile I'm sure he runs them on his peanut and they fitted under his oem rims too.

man, those k-sport look like china spec rubbish, i'd be more inclined to go for factory brembo's .... at least if you ever have an accident they won't knock you back for non ADR compliant brakes

They are Taiwanese. I just read the product description and yes unfortunately they are not street legal here, oops.

If you want to keep your rims, honestly save up a bit more and get the AP Racing kit. They sit behind stock WRX rims:

They are better in every way.

With the money I have put into Brembo's, lines, pads, rotors, I should have just bought a kit like this. You get to the point where the width and designs of the various aftermarket rotors which can be used with the Brembo's is the limiting factor, and you want something like this, if you're tracking a lot and want endless brakes.













I don't think so, Ash just bought a set of Winmax pads for his Alcons.

Should have bought an STI

I love my willwoods. 6 piston forged narrow superlite calipers (similar size to brembo 4pot but thinner for more wheel fitment options). 332mm slotted multi piece rotors. (had these redrilled to 5x114.3 by KAP when I converted hubs). Braided lines. Decent enough pads. (Although very dusty) all as a bolt on kit with dogbones and such for less than a second hand set of brembos would cost. But that was when Aud = Usd.

They have held up well on the track for me so far. No known issues, but aparently they shoot fire n sparks at barbs at night?
