Hi all

I'm looking at fitting some alloy 4 pot calipers along with 7.9 vented discs.

But with quite a few options around for calipers, what's people's views on them:

Kad
Mini sport
Cooper Co
Mini spares
Specialist components

Many thanks

Kevin

never seen any on minispares pages.

 only 7.5 and 8.4 vented.

 

I have had the Minispares alloy 4 pots since they first came out. circa early 90s and they still work.

Yes you are quite right about the mini spares ones, I've spent too much time looking at them all

The ones by kad, mini sport and cooper co all look the same? Are they just branded differently but they are the same caliper?

Thanks

Kevin

MiniSport & Cooper Co are almost certainly the same as they are effectively the same company and they're made on the same machines.

 

KAD's I expect to be different (and probably better).

KADs are amazing. Minisport are getting better but still massively behind the drag curve for advancements in engineering.

I have minisport 4 pots with 7.5 discs. 

 

Extremely happy with them. they were an improvement over the standard 2 pots and 8.4" discs.
