4th gen Master cylinder upgrades? And Big Brakes

Cool. Did you use your regular Prelude brake hoses?

yup, they worked fine but that was on the road

Had to learn to brake with them though as if you use them like oem brakes you lock the wheels

Once you send me some pics I'll have proper think about it Vs the alternative brand new set of KSport's. Cheers.

Join the club Merlin!

I can give you prices of the replacement bits from Hi-Spec - refurb bits and bolts aren't too bad, but discs are a stinger. But overall will be cheaper than buying a new set.

At the moment its either the 335mm Hi-Spec 4 pots off Ammo or a brand new set of KSport 330mm 8 pots. By the time I spec up the Hi-Spec's with AP discs and get some new pads, and any refurb work the calipers needed it getting expensive. Aparently the Hi-Spec's use a much smaller pad area but the replacement pads are alot cheaper. Ferodo DS2500's for the Hi-Spec's are £113 Vs £240 for the KSport's, but like I say the the KSport are a larger pad.

KSport are a Time Attack sponsor so I'm hopefull I could get a deal out of them.

No because they're all mine and I love mentioning this EVERYWHERE

Seriously though the NSX calipers are baby compared to ATR/KSport, 28x282 and only two pistons (which I'm assuming you lot call pots?) BUT you get about an extra 37WHP.

I think the one's Phil's on about are those other badboys he had for sale?

any further forward with this, what was the outcome?

Post by **Merlin** » Wed Aug 08, 2012 7:15 pm

Nothing yet. Got a load of other bits to do first. Got to plan though
