I don't believe anyone has looked into this before which is why you haven't received a reply.

There's a couple of members with K-Sport upgrades but that's about it.

Maybe you would be better off taking your car physically down to a brake specialist to see what would need to be done?

I have fitted a set to the front of a 380 with no issues. The rears I have test fitted a spare set I have here, they fit the handbrake set up fine, just like fitting earlier brembo to a Magna you do need to use a rotor spacer on the rear to move the rotor out a little. The caliper fits no worries as well.

Master cyl should be fine, main thing will be fitting up the rears.

If needed (as above) I do have a spare set of Brembo Evo 10 rears here with rotors.

LOL, I've been running K Sports for over 2 years now and have done over 60 thousand k's on them. I don't drive like a pussy and they have never faded. I honestly can't fault them. Surprisingly, the paint work on them is really good. Not one bit of faded paint in sight. How many sets of Brembos have you seen that aren't faded?

There after sales service has been really good too, always speedy replies to emails and phone calls. I'm even running their coil overs which have been in nearly 12 months and again, no complaints here.

I've had K-Sprts a lot longer than Kif & no probs either. In fact I don't know anyone that's installed them & had problems.

Nothing on ebay mate. The spacer is to space out rotor not the wheel. IS something hopper stoppers may be able to make or) could also get them made if needed. Great thing about Brembo is it is cheaper thanks kport and you are not being dictated to by the clowns in Sydney. If you dont like a supplier or part there are Many other places to get pads and rotors. I am sure K Sport are ok as a product but are from what I have seen very expensive and parts like rotors are not exactly over the counter.

kef, not disagreeing that K Sport area good product but lets face it Bremho's which are faded have come Off Wrecks over 10 years old in many cases so faded paint is not showing anything in relation to quality or ability to perform.

I have to disagree with that, I have an FG F6 in my back yard with faded calipers. It goes like stink but I'm sorry to say the K Sports certainly feel as though they "bite" harder then the Brembos fitted to the F6. K Sport do carry parts on hand, not that I've ever needed parts other then pads but was shown a whole work shop full of new un opened parts that they carry all the time. Obviously, parts for one off cars probably wouldn't be carried but air freight can see those parts landed here within the week.

What I am trying to state is that you can not use faded paint as a guide to how well a brake performs. Also with KSport you are restricted to buying off Frank, his ability to communicate (if you are not Chinese) is limited and when I was initially looking to stock their items back in 2010 I was given a set of prices when I then found others selling the same items cheaper. I questioned about this and was told that I had to buy some unreal amount of stock each month to get a better discount AND that with warranties unless they fitted the part them selves there was no warranty (THis was told to me by both Frank and Andrew whom I do not know if are there anymore). This was enough to put me off.

While I know that the parts are available through KSport there in lies the issue, only KSport have the parts thus if you have an issue and dont want to deal with them directly then you have no choice of another supplier.

Yeh that paint fade is because of brake fluid leakage when bleeding and not cleaning it fast enough...that is the clear coat coming off...brembo do use a thin clear coat....i have never heard of brembo fail in my life

I have an evo 10 track monster that i totalted a few months ago...insurance denied my claim....im salving the car and got rid a a few things, and i was eyeing out the brakes and curious to see if they would fit my 380 as i track the 380 now for fun but brakes are weak on this thing even with my qfm dba upgrades.........brembos with ferodo ds 3000's ....brembo drilled rotors rear ...project my front discs slotted and hi temp silicone brake fluid, brake discs coolers and the right 295 tyre profile and rubber compound are enough to make your eye balls come out of the sockets.......i would be able to clock up 320km/h in my evo 10 and jump on the brakes and stop in a jiffy.....no fade, no lock up..., (no abs or brake booster in my 10 so it felt rock solid pedal progressive feeling to it) i even got the brembos to catch on fire and the discs to glow orange multiple times during endurance racing on the track and still no fade....


(custom gearbox rebuild and engine build custom internals 9,750rpm rev limit 45psi of boost from 3,500rpm it maxed out at 347km/h.)

Well as you have all the bits there you are already on the right track to do this which is great.

When you go to do the rears you will notice with the brake calipers bolted on and the rotor floating that you can not get it up against the hub, this is because the offset of the hat is slightly different, this is where the spacers come in. On the Magna it is 3.7mm, did not properly measure the 380 set up but I think I worked out would be the same from initial measurements I took, understand please was on a wreck and we just quickly popped the bits onto the car. The handbrake is the same diameter so that solves that part for the 380.

I would not be at all surprised if KSport used the Evo 10 specs for the rotors to be made.
