My only issue would be the quality of the caliper - other than that...it's not a bad price.
For some tried and tested ones- Might be a little more expensive - you could go for the Ksports. There was a group buy a little while back.

Have you tried a different combo of discs and pads?

Do you're brakes need changing anyway ? As in low disc /pad life ? Reason I ask is if you do , then may as well go for a proper BBK and get the benefits of it while not spending that much more than the calipers you're looking at plus pads/discs/lines

just my opinon of course

i should really be saying go for them and with the dixcel discs I have for sale ( yes still sat here !) would be a great combo !!

I have 2 piece PF rotors already with ds2500 and ds3000 (currently brembo pads for daily driving). I am just fed up with the sliding pins always sticking regardless of what i do and the fact I'm running more power with the charger, just thought I should look at getting some 4 pots.

I dont have the budget for an all out BBK so these are the next best thing, i just want to hear from someone who is running them to put my mind at rest. They are popular on the civic forums by the looks of things!

Save for a while longer.

If youre interested. I can put you in contact with someone who will do AP Racing cp9200 calipers, AP Racing APF404 pads, 330mm discs with alloy bells, bolts, braided hoses, bracketry and things can be custom laser etched onto the alloy components too.

Got them on my S and I have yet to have any fade at all.

Pm me if interested.

has anyone got any feedback on the ksports vs the aston martin sets that were for sale on here recently?

also on the k sport site there are no prices as currently no stock, are they silly money?

Wind your neck in, no secrecy about it at all. Just the moderators on here don't like you talking about selling stuff on here unless you make contribitions. Again if you are genuinely interested, PM me for details

.....er sorry to have wound you up !

Ive seen countless posts of people recommending companies for items they want and no one has deleted or said anything

I really can't see why you wouldn't just put the details of said company up ?

again ... not wanting to wind anyone up .... just thought it would be useful for all others and might earn the chap a few more quid in orders

Unless it's your own company I can't see any reasons why you can't recommend them?
I'm kind of interested as well, much rather buy from UK than US
