I have a question ???
i want to buy Rear Disc Brake Kit - Wide 5   
but    i  hesitate between  CSP or CB perf'

CBperf' is good because it's not cheap but it is performant???
CSP is the best i know ;D

I'm sure the CB kit is OK but I've not had one though they have a sale on at the moment which is making them stupid cheap. As for the CSP one, I bought a front set up a while back and the quality of the kit you get can't be faulted.

CB are cheap in the US, but how much here in Belgium or France?  It's about 200€ to ship them here and you will have to pay customs charges :-\
CSP are really good. And readily available to your local shop.  ;)

Is the braking distance now shorter?
Do the brakes feel 'sharper' than before?

Thanks
