Yes we did mate, as said cant fault the kit bar the bolts! Just wanted to make sure other bolts would be fine! The other Kit is fine by the way Kev!
Saving up for some rear kits now.

Some pics of the 6 pot kit.......
Noticed the bell and disc design is different to the 8 pot version....
Even though i,m taking it steady at the moment as have only covered 150 miles they feel way better than before..

Been gently running my new 8pots in. Was initially disappointed with the power of them but now I've got through the glaze (and still only using about 50% pressure) I'm more than happy
Now, does anyone know the weight of the discs & calipers?

Anyone else want another GB? I might look at it if theres demand. Our cost prices have just jumped but Ive managed to get one last large sea order in at the old prices so I can do a similar deal for one more order. Retail prices will be going up 1st September.

The cost prices have gone up, we now barely make a margin on the kits at retail now when we airfreight so theres no chance of a discount off the normal price if you order normally. The new GB will offer a great price considering the price hike KSport have just implemented for its dealers.

Just a quick post to say I am very happy with the K-sport brakes so far, although still running them in, so not used in anger.
Here are a few photos of them under the Prodrive PFF7 alloys.
356mm 8-pot Front and 330mm 6-pot Rear kit, with DS2500 pads all round.
The car now brakes "flat" (no nose dive under braking) and sheds speed much more quickly.
