K- Sport Brake-to-rim Clearance

[BIT SUS]

can anyone confirm or deny that the "K Sport 8 Piston Front Brake Kit - 356mm Rotors" will fit under Work Emotion XD9 18x10s +18?

looking at getting a pair, but the factory brembos look close already...

cant confirm it or deny it, but i wouldnt waste my money on k sports dude.

and I would most certainly spend my hard earned on them, they are an excellent setup for the price. I have them on my stagea, 350z and race car (when I am allowed to by rules)

anyway, when I put the set from my race car onto the stagea I was replacing 32 gtr calipers. the 32 gtr caliper sat a mm or 2 closer to the wheel spokes than the ksports do so if that is where you are worried about you will be fine. they are smaller and squarer than the brembos.

If you mean clearance to the inside of the rim, I can't answer that for sure, depends if you mean 330mm or 355mm rotors, but it will probably fit. I have fitted the 355mm set under 17" weds so pretty much any 18" wheel should be OK.

ahh okay!

I was referring to the calliper to inside of the rim clearance, as there is only about 10mm clearance from the Brembo callipers to the inside of my XD9s!

What is the availability of pads for the K-sports? do they share a pad with anything else? and parts?

Cheers

[Duncan]

they use the same pad as the AP 6 piston calipers - which means almost every good quality pad is available in a range of compounds

I am running the 356 kit under 9.5x18 +20 Work Emotion Cr Kai

Also keen to know this. Thinking along a very similar line except for the G4 356 kit ^^

Hi mate,

Just wondering wot this brake setup set u back?

[Willis]

I sent an email to Work, they said that the XD9s have an internal diameter of 400mm .. and that they don't think a 356 kit will clear..

Which sucks
