Default Big Brake Kit

Did Brembo ever make a Big Brake Kit for a 2002 Honda Accord 4 cyl.

I know Rotora and Ksport make them now but I've Heard that Ksport Big Brake Kits aren't that good don't know about Rotora though... Are they any good?

Hey OP,

Kind of curious, where have you heard bad press on our Brake Kits?

We have had very good success with our brake kits from your everyday drivers to professional race teams.

We actually have GST Motorsports that runs in the Global Time Attack running our brakes and have broken 2 track records so far this season with the set up.

I've looked at your kits and the only reason i said I heard there not good is a couple of friends who use yours don't like them

I was looking at your SuperComp 8 Piston 15in CrossDrilled

What size wheel are you putting this kit on? the 15" normally requires at least a 19" wheel.

I know its a copy and paste but it tells you everything you need to know. Let me know if you do have any further questions.

KSPORT BIG BRAKE KITS:

Ksport big brake kits provide the ultimate in stopping power for your vehicle. Integrating new brake technology into the design of the kits allows for a kit that highly reduces brake fade and continually cools and refreshes the brake pads surface under braking. These brake systems are designed for easy installation with minimal tools required (in most applications).

The Ksport big brake kit includes:
• 8-Piston Aluminum calipers
• High quality brake pads
• D.O.T. Compliant Stainless steel brake lines
• Machined aluminum hats
• Carbon steel brackets
• 11-16" inch large ventilated discs
• Ksport SC5 street brake pads (RC1 race pads available for additional cost).

Extreme Lightweight Caliper:

Our extreme lightweight caliper comes in differential bore configuration. It is machined from aircraft quality billet, weighs just over 5lbs. each, and has machined in protection grooves for the bridge tubes. Aluminum pistons, high temperature seals, and stainless steel brake pad wear plates are also standard on each caliper design. The opposed piston caliper design greatly improves pad wear and caliper rigidity over the OEM design. The stainless steel brake lines stop expansion under pressure.

High Performance Rotor:

Most applications utilize the 2-piece floating disc assembly which reduces weight both rotating and unsprung. The floating disc also stops thermal stresses of extreme heat from warping the disc or cupping the braking surface. The unique slot design on the rotor greatly reduces braking noise and expels gas and pad debris faster than conventional slot designs. Every rotor is always heat treated and balanced before shipment for the best possible performance.

Ksport SC5 Street Pads:
These NAOC ceramic pads are designed to give you the optimal braking performance under street and occasional track conditions. Optimal operating temperatures are between 194˚F - 1022˚F for fast warm up under normal driving conditions. These pads reduce the amount of brake dust by 50% or more when compared to our race pads. The SC5 pads also greatly reduce the amount of noise and wear on the rotor over the race pads.

Ksport RC1 Race Pads:
These carbon metallic race pads are designed to give you the best stopping power possible under extreme track conditions. Optimal operation temperatures are between 480˚F - 1472˚F so it is not recommended for street use due to high temperature needed for optimal performance. Designed for the racer in mind to reduce brake fade under extreme conditions.

I'm guessing that you never bothered to read the info posted Here! on their website?

According to the front page of the brake products page it states that the smallest rim size for the 8pot 330mm x 32mm (13" x 1.25") would be 17". So to answer your question, 18's would be better!
