Hey Tobias,
The only difference between the two brake kits is that the # KYD22FR has stainless steel calipers. Otherwise the kits are the same kit. Stainless steel calipers are going to be better for corrosion and resisting rust than the dacromet coated calipers on the # KYD42FR kit.
They are both the same exact brakes and capacities, I recommend if you find yourself towing frequently through different environments and moisture to go with the # KYD22FR that has the stainless steel calipers.
What area or conditions do you find yourself towing in more frequently?
