There have been countless posts in other car forum about these calipers (& suspensions). They're common for pads fitting issue and leak in piston seals (also read somewhere about piston ceasing). At the same time, there are cars with their parts that race in Formula D, NASA and few other motorsports. Keep in mind, mostly those race team request to make custom order parts or parts that fit their needs not off the shelf parts.

They don't do extensive research on brake bias every single cars and models than say... StopTech or other well respected brands. So for ppl who care about brake bias and importance of extent research to match the car, K-Sport is out of question. While there are ppl who like the looks and don't care bout the function. It might be good option for them.

With that said, you won't find extensive research info about this calipers in this site. Why? Mostly cuz those ppl who do those research will not go anywhere near K-Sport calipers and it might be same on other forum. Now, why not you be the first to try it? There are countless online info with good and bad result. Either way, from the sound of it, you're 99% buying the kit. Let us know how it goes for you. If goes well, great! There might be members wanting to follow your path, so you can help em out with Q&A. If goes bad for you, sorry. Let us know, so no one will follow your mistake.

That's my 2 yens.
