K sport 8 pot calipers with pads & 330mm discs

[cebul]

Hi,
Garage clear out continue

Front Big Brake kit:

K Sport 8 pot calipers with about 95% life left pads.

330mm 2 piece discs with dual stud pattern 4 & 5 x114

These kit originally coming from Rover - that how it was listed when I've bought it about 3 years ago.

I've gought it with intention to fit that to my Prelude, but car been sold.

It's not directly fit to Prelude, some modifications are required: bracket fit to the hub leg fine, as Rover has the same distance between fitting holes as Honda, but hub offset must be diferent as discs is not centralised in terms of caliper.

To solve that issue these calipers require new brackets to be bought from Kent Sport of fabricated by you self, or modify the existing ones.

Disc have centre bole slightly larger diameter than Prelude, so some spigot rings may be required.

Braided brake hoses included.

This kit is sold as seen as it's exactly the same.condition when I bought it. It probably need some basic service- good strip down and clean up.

Price: Im asking £430 for whole lot, as it's basically price of calipers only.

This can be used on any car with 4 &5 x114 stud pattern after after correct bracket been used.

This picture showing, when disc is fitted and caliper is centralised, the caliper bracket is exactly opposite to caliper fitting point on hub leg:



Anyway questions please feel free to ask.

You can buy new bells which are £30 each I seem to remember, but you'd need a new fitting kit so put new bells on those discs.

Serous? Well, £30 pounds for bell is not a lot.

Yeah its not too bad, but it is just a single piece of alloy. You can get new bells in either 4x114.3 or 5x114.3. The disc fitting kit is £20 a side (new bolts for attaching the disc and bell together)

Replacement discs (MTEC) (12 x 8.3 bolt 190.5 PDC) are £285 and you have your choice of pads. The Ksport 8 pots use the same size pad as the AP CP5575 6 pot caliper which is OEM on a few cars such as the BMW E46 M3. You just need to make sure the depth of the pad is 17mm.

What size wheel is needed to clear the calliper?

[Merlin]

17" minimum. My Rota Torque 17" ET45 wheels clear them by a mm or two.

[damon]

Would my standard wheels be ok?

[cebul]

O would say 17 ich are safe, but From top of my memory, I think I've seen an Integra at Mimms a few years back, with 16 inch wheels and 330mm discs fitted, confirmed by the owner.
I belive that depend of wheel construction and shape.

So I would just need the calliper brackets to make this kit fit? From k sports wed site?

[RattyMcClelland]

I was going to buy these but they won't clear my rpf01 wheels.

The caliper brackets are £265 per pair plus 3-5 weeks wait from k sport.
