Were these significantly cheaper than AP's? Otherwise I am at a bit of a loss as to why you might choose them over more established competition brakes

Massively cheaper than AP's. Sure there'll be pleanty of remarks about them being cheap chinese brakes ala D2's which you get on every forum, but they're really rather good.

Had my KSport 8 pots fitted two months ago and they were knackered in two weeks.

Got money back and fitted APs.





Just joking..........good luck, always like a bargain!

Some guy on BM3W said they are rebranded D2s?

The brakes are really good with no fade at all. As for price £2400 fitted front, rears and discs included. As for AP versus K Sport I bet theres nothing in it bar a name. Im happy anyway.

You can't post bad reviews on this site unfortunately. If I could, this post would be one.
So the only words I can offer are don't bother.

Brembo's at the minute but I've got a set of K-sports and a set of Alcon's to play with and decide upon.

Not on a CSL I hasten to add.

You wont be disappointed with the K Sport kit, different car I know, but I have them on my 200sx and they are very good smile I am a bit biased as I know the guys at Apex who supply them, but I also know all the back to back testing they have done against much more expensive kits, they are not cheap kits, they are fantastic kits at a reasonable price. I'll get my coat redface
