Default ? k sport BBK ?

I was wondering if anyone knew about this kit and whether it was worth it or not? I know their coilovers are crap. Honestly I am not looking for anything to ridiculously out perform factory stopping power, I just want some thing that will look better behind my rims. Any input would be appreciated.

I've read that their coilovers are decent. There was a guy with a GPW in the R&C forum who ran them with good results.

If all you want to look good, they certainly look better than the stock calipers. I'm sure it will be impressive to non-car enthusiasts, and maybe even some enthusiasts. What are they priced at for a set?

for the front set they are priced at $1300 and that includes, calipers, pads, two piece rotors, and stainless steel lines.

if you think their coilvers are crap, wouldnt you think the bbk is also?

i'd rather get Spoon calipers for that price with a history behind it(Nissin)

$1300 Is way too much. Like Sinji said, invest in a set of spoons that utilize the oem lines, pads and rotors.

I personally think they're fine. What are they...8 pistons? Should be able to do the job for more 95% of the people that decide to run them.

8 pistons? well hell if they work then it's more than enough.

my R32 GTR had 4-pots and was worthy of light track duty at least!

well i like the spoon calipers but its really not a bbk, cause it used the factory rotor and lines, the only thing different is the caliper and the pads. I am going to email the company today and see what they have as far as specs go and then ill compare that too the other kits on the market as well.
