Anyone who has been considering upgrading their brakes may like to know this info !

I recently had my KAD discs skimmed as they needed it after several track days and RT2, and was informed that next time they need to be replaced.

Bearing in mind they are 330mm in size, I was sweating as I typed an email to KAD asking the price.

The reply came back today:

"The discs themselves are £140 each plus vat, the bolt kits are £7.50 each plus vat which gives a total of £346.62 including vat and nextday carriage. We have these in stock."

For once it was a pleasant surprise......I was guessing at £500 :thumbsup:

Don't really think there's any comparrison. The Nationals are a good upgrade. The KADs are just in a different league; they're Whopper Stoppers. Would be interesting to see how KADs compare to Brembos.
