It just came in today!! Everything looks good, and brackets fit well. I guess gamble again and won!!

Ken, congrats man...leading the way and breaking further ground for the RDX community. How are the fronts performing? I'm wondering how K Sport parts hold up in the long term vs. just simply initial fitment/operation.

still waiting on those stopping distances ken...

jk as soon as this is drivable call me!!! and hit the track!!!

KenB350z

I'm sure they hold up a lot better these days. I haven't had any problems.

KenB350z

Now that I have a local owner here with an RDX; there will be lots of comparisons. 0-60, 60-0, 1/4mile (Thunder Valley Raceway Park), circuit (Hallette Motor Racing Circuit), etc...

damn they look sexy as F#%K !!!!!!!!!!!

KenB350z

Oh man they are crazy hot! I said I was going with the 4pot 14" kit. Couldn't resist the 6pot 15's!

Your parking brake will function just like OEM. Your parking brake shoes will go inside the hub, just like OEM. Again these are not Honda Civic's..

These look ill!!

rdxchris710

sick man.. great to see you taking the gamble.. Makes buying my parts easier haha i do need to do something with the stock setup.. it sucks for sure. Thanks for paving the way for us new RDX owners. Now if we only could get a rdx to cali with a custom tune and eliminate the damn ignition issue with hondata and these things will be unstoppable.

KenB350z

Thanks! I know, I wish we could find someone that lives there and get something going!

wspy

Whats the ignition issue with Hondata?

KenB350z

Our ECU will not let us fully tune the car. We are hoping HOndata, AEM, or some big company can help us get a fully functional EMS.

looks great Ken! I'm definitely going to have to stick with the 14 inch stuff as it will fit the 18 inch rim.

look at hypnoti on one of his treads there is a flat spot in our TQ curve between 3500 and 5000. cars still making boost just very slow through that specific rpm range. especially when you start messing with boost.

wspy

Oh ok...I was under the impression that you could tune that out with the Flash Pro.

wspy

So these brakes 'K Sport' ...are a direct replacement for the stock set up? No fabrication involved? ....etc

KenB350z

The only modification needed is to trim the OEM brake dust shield, which most BBK require. Other then that, there is no fabrication needed. Just like the 16" fronts, all was needed was trimming the dust shield.

wspy

Ok cool!

I think id just ditch them the dust shields that is.

KenB350z

Yeah.

rdxchris710

ken what fluid and pads do you run in these things.

KenB350z

Oem with the Ksport street pads.

Brake kit looks great, but if you keep showing those wheels, I may breakdown and buy a set.

KenB350z

I have another set.

bluecarbonfiber

smidge off base but
ive been going back and forth on the wheels my self.. been a toss up between the enkei raijin and the tsw nuebs the tsw is a smidge lighter but the black isnt black its a gun metal also been reading other forums that have owners stating they are weak in stress so they are prone to bend if you hit a pothole

KenB350z

For me I can't go full black, so I looked for a wheel that would look closer to the factory look and the gun metal and/or mirror finish look is the closest. For some people they like that all black or all chrome look, not for me. "It takes away from the car that it could have come from the factory that way." No bends in my wheels at all, must be their driving. Still have all three set of mine, no bends, and Oklahoma road suck!!

cant suck as bad as oregon roads haha might as well be driving on gravel roads with craters =) good to know you havent had issues non of the things i read state tires being ran or anything like that im sure there is many other factors the main one i noticed was load levels the enkeis can take more.. also the reason why the tsws are lighter is due to the thinning of the barrels which would mean possibly more weight added to them so they run true.. do you have lots of weights added to your wheels?

i like the silvers but im just attracted to the black more i like that mysterious look =)

KenB350z

No more then a usual balance. I would say 4 or 5 on some and 2-3 on some. Typical.

Nachtsturm

I think my PMs are nerf'ed because of my new account.

Looks good, where did you get the acura center caps?

KenB350z

The center caps are from the factory wheels.

Nachtsturm

Very cool. I'd be interested in the wheels if you ever decide to break them apart.

KenB350z

I don't see a problem with that. Just hit me up on eBay.

KenB350z

Need more shots like this with the new brake setup!
