Man that's caliper expanding sounds like a dodgy caliper to me, WTF did you do?

Was equal flex on both sides just like they were Cheap end of the scale

Noo surely not... that really isn't what you expect at all from a "Reputable" brake company!!

Black diamond discs are good! I had black diamond discs and yellow stuff on the rear but I took them off to upgrade to a 300mm rear disc set up! I only did a couple hundred miles or so with my black diamonds on, but they were good! They wouldn't have been good enough to keep the brake balance to go with the 335mm 6 pot front brakes though so that's why I took them off!

For road use Akebono 2 pot floating caliper & 276 or 294 discs mixed with good pads is all you need & keeps unsprung weight low & is very sensible cost .
Wilwoods are not the best but ok if pick up at decent price.
I would sell your K-sport via forum or eBay & either buy k-sport 6 pots if can get good price or hispecs.
If your k-sports are new or like new condition they worth decent money .

Thanks Mr B, all points taken on board from everyone .
