Title: D2 Racing - Brake kit
Post by: Initial-D on September 18, 2006, 11:36:24 AM
Anyone used them or know of somebody that has used their products before? Thinking about this 8pot 356mm kit. More pics here http://www.d2racingsports.com.au/gpage.html I think they\'d look nice with my 18\'s although I\'m not sure about them performance wise.

very tempting! When are you going to buy a set Ben?

Do they deliver to the UK?

Yup thats UK price. A set is on ebay at the moment, an additional £45 for deliver. The seller is based in the Essex/Sufflok area.

I\'ll give them a call and see what they can do.

I\'m tempted by the price but it\'s the performance where I\'m concerend. I wanted to know if anyone has used their products before. Seems to be alot of cheap coilovers about made in China/Taiwan that probably doesn\'t meet the standard of recognised brands.

Howdy folks,

Did anything more come of this?  Were they intersted in a group buy, and did anyone find out if they were any good?

Noticed the kits are still for sale on the \'Bay.

He should be calling me back today or Monday. Looks like we\'d need at least 5 kits in either the 330mm #1025 (fits 17" rim) or 356mm #1250 (fits 18" rim).

I could also be interested depending on price of course;)

Does anyone know of anyone who\'s running these at all, even on over marks, 200sx, skylines, etc??

They look exactly the same as the \'K sport\' brake kits- http://www.ksportusa.com/products/brakekit.html
