KVR Brake equipment anyone?

yeah, well I've decided to fix up my worn braking system with some new stuff. and I was searching on corksport, and saw "KVR Carbon Fiber Brake Pads". they sound pretty decent to me, but I've never heard anything about them. I'm also thinkin about KVR's brake rotors.

so now, has anyone used any KVR products? specifically their carbon fiber pads ? and if so, could you briefly review them. thanks.

i "heard" that as the carbon fiber wears off it makes a big mess on your rims and is worst than brake dust. but that is just what i heard.

I have no real clue on how good they work or how good the company is.

hmm... well in the description, it says its not near as bad as brake dust, and theirs not as much of it.

but that's good. that's the kind of stuff I want to hear !!

The company? I live right by their head office. Sometimes they're absolute dicks, sometimes they're great. As for their brakes? I wouldnt buy their pads, and the rotors - they drill them themselves with a drill press, and I've seen what happens to them after 10,000km... pretty brutal stuff. They end up looking like a rippled potato chip because of where the holes are.

Their high end stuff is just relabelled Baer and Wilwood.
*shrug* I wouldn't.
