Another big brake option...

[91T breezen']

Here are a couple of photo's of my newly installed BBK by K Sports. Calipers are 8-piston design, and 2-piece 13" rotors. I chose this over the current options, just for the radial mounted calipers which keep the three, and nine o'clock positions.(Also just to be different!):icon_biggKit was fairly east to install, and only one small mod was needed, due to 2 of the caliper mounting bolts being a little too long.
Special thanks to Ron R. Thanks man!

I found them at TH Motorsports website (Chicago local)

Retail !2250 :aigo:

 

[figgie]

2250?

that is freaking Brembo Prices.

NO I AM NOT KIDDING!!!!

Jesus that's expensive! For that much money I'd rather buy the ARZ Wilwood kit. God damn that kit is nice though. Congrats Tom.

I looked a little into that TH Motorsports, seems all their BBK's for the Supra's are way over priced.

 

[arizzle]

What is the rotor thickness?
How does one go about sourcing replacement components; rotors, pads, etc.?
Are there any P/N cross reference, that is, are the parts comparable or equivalent to something already readily available?

 

[tbcmorris]

any wheel off pictures

Apparently K-Sport also has a 12 piston caliper with HUGE 16" rotors! Those are... are... $5400!!!!

What would a person need 16" rotors and 12 piston calipers for anyways?

Simple

piggly 22" dubs (no relation to jdub btw ) ontop of a piggly SUV.

more than likely either Wilwood rotors or Brembo. On a rare instance AP or Baer but I have not seen anyone use those rotors in quite some time.

Is this the same Ksport that makes all the crappy, untested Honda-world coilovers?

Don't know anything about their coilovers, but I did do some research on the kit before I purchased it. I'm satisfied that it will fullfill my needs... safely! Kit was straight forward bolt on, with everything looking very well constructed.
I got it from rightcoastimports.com. No, it wasn't anywhere close to $2250!:icon_razz
Rotor thickness is 32mm, 13" diameter, two-piece.
Sorry, I didn't take any wheel off photo's.

Blackdevil: All components can be had from K Sports through their distributors. According to Ron, pads are very similar to what his Brembo's have.

 

[Zazzn]

i'm sure he means that k sport

 

[Zazzn]

So what was the price then? don't be holding out on us.

AP brakes here.

Zazzn: If Tom got a good deal, of course he wants to keep it to himself, I don't blame him.
