Hi
Just thought i\'d post a pic of my new calipers and wheels.
Had to get new rims because the old set wouldn\'t fit over
the new calipers!! Just my luck!!
Due to the bad engine fire early last year,i\'m having a load of
work done on the engine as well. More pics soon.
Cheers
Pete
They look really nice mate :)
What wheels are they?
Are they rota rims Pete?
I\'ve heard good things about the KAD brake systems. :)
Reall smart mate :)

Hi Freddy
The wheels are OZ Cronos.
Gone for 18 inchers
8.5 Fronts and 9.5 Rears.
Havn\'t decided on rubber yet,something very sticky would be best.
Cheers

Look nice, very similar to the Rota ones I\'m after :)
Nice ! I have KADs too. Did you get yours from Dragon ? Ross had a car in there while mine were being fitted in December that had to get new wheels to fit the discs. What size did you go for to fit under the 18\'s ?
Cheers, Craig
That looks really good :D
Love the black on blue

Hi Craig
I think your talking about my car,it\'s still down at Dragon\'s now.
Ross did mention he was fitting set of KAD\'S to another
customers car,must have been yours.
Unsure what your asking in your last question?
Cheers
Pete
just what size discs, as the 358mm\'s apparently struggle to fit in under some 18\'s,

Hi Craig
Damn right they struggle fitting into some 18\'s!! Went with the 358mm\'s,as you can see they fit fine with the new rims.
Ross said he\'d actually got those calipers into a 17\'\' rim,shame they didn\'t fit my old 18\'\' rims,would of saved me a grand!!!
Good photo of your KAD\'S,what\'s the stopping power like? Much vibration or
noise?
Cheers
Pete
If you don\'t mind me asking, how much does a brake setup like this cost?
I\'ve been thinking of getting the brakes done and think the KAD kits look pretty cool. Not sure if they\'d fit in my 17" Mazdaspeed MS-01 rims though. :(
Kind Regards,
Darran.
I don\'t want to quote numbers on behalf of the dealers out there, but I would count on between £1000 and £1500 for a big brake kit. I have seen more expensive still if you go down the Brembo or AP route. I have noticed Dragon (KAD), RE:Worx (AP Racing) and RotaryArt (Endless) all advertise kits, as does Rotary Extreme in the US. Look around the net and you will find many options.
You don\'t have to go 358mm discs, you can go smaller (say 330mm) with less extreme calipers and fit under 17\'s.
Cheers, Craig

Hi Mate
Best thing to do is phone Ross at Dragon,he did say he\'d got the KAD\'S
into a 17\'\' rim. Ross was advertising a set of second hand Brembo\'s for
sale.Craig is right about the money.
Cheers
Pete
Groovy! Thanks
