Supercomp 8 Piston Big Brake Kit

The Ksport Supercomp 8 Piston 356mm Front Big Brake Kit represents the pinnacle of Ksport's braking upgrades, engineered for maximum stopping power without requiring modifications to your vehicle. This kit is specifically designed for the 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, offering a significant performance enhancement over stock braking systems. At the core of this kit are the lightweight, forged one-piece calipers, precision-machined from aerospace-quality aluminum. This construction method ensures unparalleled strength, corrosion resistance, and uniform caliper thickness. The calipers house larger aluminum pistons, which offer superior heat resistance and maintain optimal performance even under demanding conditions. The Supercomp kit features a floating two-piece rotor design, with an outer section that can slightly shift. This allows for better self-centering within the caliper, reducing brake drag and ensuring more even pad application for improved performance and longevity. Standard with this kit are Ksport's SC5 Street Pads, formulated with NAOC Ceramic material. These pads offer optimal braking performance for street use and occasional track days, significantly reducing brake dust (by 50% or more), noise, and rotor wear, with an optimal operating temperature range of 194°F - 1022°F. Further enhancing the system are D.O.T. compliant stainless-steel braided brake lines. These lines prevent hose expansion under pressure, leading to a firmer pedal feel and a more responsive braking experience compared to standard rubber lines. Buyers can choose between slotted or cross-drilled rotors; slotted rotors are recommended for track use due to their superior heat dissipation and debris clearing capabilities, while cross-drilled rotors are recommended for daily driven vehicles as they run cooler. Please note that Ksport Big Brake kits are built to order, with production and delivery typically taking 4-6 weeks.
