You may need to use wheel spacers to clear the caliper when fitting this brake kit, lots of information is readily available online regarding this however if you are in doubt, please contact us first.
Lightweight Calipers: K Sport extreme lightweight caliper comes in differential bore configuration. It is machined from aircraft quality billet, weighs just over 5lbs. each, and has machined in protection grooves for the bridge tubes. Aluminium pistons, high temperature seals, and stainless steel brake pad wear plates are also standard on each caliper design. The opposed piston caliper design greatly improves pad wear and caliper rigidity over the OEM design. The stainless steel brake lines stop expansion under pressure.
High Performance Rotor: All applications utilise the 2-piece disc assembly which reduces weight both rotating and unsprung. These can either be supplied with fixed or floating rotors. The 2-piece disc also stops thermal stresses of extreme heat from warping the disc or cupping the braking surface. The unique slot design on the rotor greatly reduces braking noise and expels gas and pad debris faster than conventional slot designs. Every rotor is always heat treated and balanced before shipment for the best possible performance.
Custom colours: Custom caliper colours are available, however please be aware that these will incur a surcharge (starting at £140) and will increase the leadtime of your order. Contact us prior to placing your order if you require a custom colour, do not put this in the Notes section when purchasing. Orders for a custom colour without prior contact will be refunded.
