i have a an identical rear kerscher set up for sale brand new and boxed...£500 dang cormac:rolleyes:

does SSP have a disc brake kit for the rear? i looked at their web site and only saw the tarox for the front. wheres the rear?

neil

i would talk to darren because it is the tastiest piece of kit that i have seen next to the tarox kit ill get the photos up pretty soon.£500 is a bargain

Tarox do a set for the rear too, I saw them for sale at Spa in Belgium.

cormac163, I assume you have been running these for a year now with no problems? My only concern with them was corrosion, as the tarox letters are cut into the anodising (sp?). With all the salt on the roads in the winter I could imagine corrosion happening here?

Look forward to hearing from you..

corrosion
 

none at all, its amazing how they look after not washing them for a month or two.

And your still pleased with them? Still stopping you well?

best ever
 

I have to admit that i drive like a lunatic and could have ended up a lot worse for wear only i had the tarox kit put on i had the kerscher kit on the rear which were good alright but lacking in the bite of the tarox kit. i would definitely get them again especially for big engine bugs its an easier option for supers as they bolt right on.

With hindsite, would you have gone for a larger rear brake then?

road or track
 

depends on what it was for, if i was building a flat out track car i would get the bigger brakes cause the front brakes take a lot of use on the road but they are effective none the less, and a hell of a lot better than the standard drums.

Do you have the vented disk setup, or non-vented setup on the front?

air cooled
 

i got the vented dics up front which are nice and thick and the rear discs were drilled and grooved which confused a lot of people. When my brother and i were at volksworld we were chilling out in the tent and you could hear people giving out saying that the brakes were on "the wrong way round".
typical that nobody went close enough to look properly but we thought it was funny.

Thanks very much for the info..

Just a thought, what rims are you running?

rims
 

I got the discs drilled for a PCD of 5x100 and got a set of FOX 5 alloys with an ET of 35 and the were 17" diameter. The tyres were 235/45/17 and rubbed on all four corners so i would have preferred to get slightly wider wings or smaller rubber but they were fine once you didnt hop the car all over the road.

What kind of gap do you have between the rim and the caliper? Do you think 16" rims might have fitted?
