Oh wow I've heard mixed things about the D2s :-/ heard they not as great as they are made out to be or maybe it was a certain generation of them like the suspension :-/

[clintondane]

They install 8pots on those, as well as a great big anchor that deploys with the flick of a switch cos they're such heavy, lumbersome biatches.......

Lol

I also heard D2 are not all that good.

what is/was ClintO running

I think he used to run K-sprot?

and thats the STM SSV ya?

EDIT,

they work mint, the one big down side with them is that the rotors are a slut to replace because they are no longer readily avaliable in nz through a distributer as far as im aware, and they are well over priced.

To fix this issue i machined up new hats to suit wilwood rotors of the same size as the options are plentiful for that rotors pcd.

So brembos maybe a simpler option, and alot cheaper for rotor replacement.

As far as performance, i have never used brembos on a track so i couldn't compare them, but im sure there must have been a reason for BT to replace his brembos on his spec c with his d2's when he first got his car? Best to ask him id say.

From what ive been told by most, they are on par with wilwoods, but for a fraction of the price. But they definitley arent AP's or something bling like that.

XYZ are from same factory as D2 & Ksport.

I only changed the Brembos for D2 as I already had them from a previous car. Ok for street and light track use, wouldnt use them for anything serious.

I disagree. Although my clubby is the previous generation, I love the way it handles and feels on the road. Like any factory car, it just needed a push in the right direction with good shocks and springs. The factory brakes are awesome too, not really much need to change them.

Finally machined up new brake hats to suit the wilwood rotors. Also just had the pads turn up this arvo too which will join these (Pagid RS4)

New brake bits fit like a brought one.

Its slowly getting there.

I think D2 got a bad reputation from their explosion-prone coilovers. By all accounts the brakes aren't bad at all, and can easily be upgraded with parts off other "brand name" calipers.

12 pots made by ATS brakes

10 pot brakes on a VW GOLF hahaha
