Fitted my BBK - new pics added with gold callipers

Post by synthedup » Sun Feb 10, 2019 10:52 am

So after buying the KSport BBK from Phil last week I got it fitted yesterday. After spending 4 hours getting the yellow spray paint off one. :oops:

Great upgrade, they really stop you!

Just need to decide what colour to have them painted now, I’m thinking silver or gold like the M performance ones.

I like them as they are 8) stealthy.

They were a good buy :thumbsup:

I agree, the black hides how but they are. There are 12” callipers and that’s a 19” wheel :D

Is it strange that 330mm discs look tiny in those wheels?

Although I do prefer the understated look:

Are you sure those discs are fitted to the correct sides? They look as though they could be the other way round? :?

Rob

100%, I did a lot of research and it’s common for people to put them on the opposite side due to what. People assume is right.

The discs are two piece as expected and they have fine that need to point backwards to move air away.

Mounted the other was will pull the air into the brakes.
