Not sure yet, will wait to see the instructions. Saying that though, I don't see how Apex can insist on pro fitting, when one of the selling points was that they were easy to fit (as per quote below from Bren's original post on this thread).

 

Very easy to fit, took me about an hour'n'half on my own.

To anyone having douts about these brakes trust me they are awesome. Ive had them fitted for a couple of months now and only it was only yesterday that i
really put them to the test. Two track sessions at Japfest with hard use and everytime i called upon them they were there!

Surely for the money there cant be a better Brake kit on the market.

 

Ok. level with me folks, no B.S

If I were to go for the 6 pot 308mm kit (I have 16inch) wheels. Would it offer comparable stopping power to the AP 308mm kit? Or, am I better off waiting till I have larger wheels that can accomodate the bigger discs/or just saving up for APs.

Given what I can recoup for selling the OEM 4 pots this might be quite a good deal for moi, but I don't want half measures, I want brakes in the AP league!

Oh, anyone know whether the 308mm kit will fit behind 16inch Speedline ST2 alloys???

Thanks in advance for any info offered!

We have run 356mm under 8x17" TE37 et30 so 304s should be fine under 16s. Ill try and get you dimensions.

Any large brake kit should ideally be fitted by a pro who can take the correct measurements to minimise run out. The kits are a doddle to fit otherwise, you just wont be able to measure run out. I want to minimise problems further down the road and this involves having the kit fitted properly.

Im just covering my back and making people aware that to do the job right requires more work that might first appear, although in practice people do just chuck them on and generally dont have a problem.

We were at the second round of Time Attack and EDC (drift championship) this weekend just gone. Kevin Atkins was there in his Evo (won Time Attack Club last year) with his KSport all round. The KSports replaced the AP Racing brakes he ran on the front last year. He was so impressed with the performance of the brakes by the end of Sunday that he convinced the second placed TA runner from Sunday (Evo 400) to swap from his current Alcons to KSport all round.

Zen are also happy with their KSport set up. We all know Zen, they won Time Attack Pro this year and are now on KSports all round

That will tell you more about KSport vs AP than my opinion, which obviously is biased The two 304mm (the AP is 304mm, not 308) kits use the exact same pad so you have the same rotor face coverage. The feedback we have had to date on the 304 kits has been excellent incuding from guys running on track. We havent actually started testing them ourselves as yet though.

 

il measure up this aft and give ya a bell

 

will the 8pots fit? iv only got 19mm ish of clearance from the std 4 pot to the spoke,and a bit more from the disc to the spoke, do i just require 32m? or have i measure it wrong? theyre 18 x 7.5 inovit stvi et 42

 

hi,
4 pots / 6 pots complete sets (calibers/discs/pads) front.
to fit classic,how much are they + what colours ?
cheers.

 

do you have any of the 8 pot 356mm kits left?

 

thats me all paid up

 

me too i've just paid via the website link.

 

Was really hoping these would be with us in time for the bank holiday weekend, but I guess it's not to be. Pity, I was looking forward to bedding them in

 

Just phoned my order through, hope they fit lol

 

We dont do 4 pots. All prices and info and detailed and listed in the very first post of this thread

https://www.scoobynet.com/group-buys...group-buy.html

Yep.

Cool

Good good

Its going to be early next week. The kits arrived in the Uk on Monday, theyve been proc essed through customs, all oustanding invoices paid and sorted and its now just down to the freight company driving them from the docks to us

Im sure theyll be fine. if you are concerned then just fit one caliper with one bracket (you dont even need the rotor) without connecting the brake line and then try a wheel. As long as you havent run fluid throught he caliper and the kits is returned as new then youre welcome to a full refund for the price of the kit if theres fitting issues

 

nice one cheers bren

 

Can't argue with that. Top service

 

ordered mine thursday

 

Anyone know if the 304mm 6 pot kit will fit under the Speedline ST2 wheels? Or can you provide an idiots guide that will allow me to establish the answer for myself?

Thanks in advance,

Ns04

 

Had a good look at this kit today at the Scooby shoot out and have got to say they look quality.

Just got to start saving and not let the wife find out

Nige

 

I Also saw them today . Looks like a Quality bit of kit. Can't wait for them to turn up.

 

Quick question for Bren, which courier do you use? As it's coming to my home I'm praying you don't use City Link cause their depot is miles away (No one will be there to accept the delivery).
Any other courier is fine, they have depots quite local.

 

What diameter, offset and width Speedlines?

We use City Link. We can use TNT instead on the odd occasion, if you let me know your full name Ill put a note on your order

 

Hi Bren, it's Matthew Coleman
Cheers!

 

HOLD THE PRESS!! I think they are actually Speedline competition 2 alloys, NOT ST2s. They are a bugger to get info on though!!

Ns04

 

Ah Ha, bingo!! Thanks Scoobypedia!

16 inch diameter, looks like 7 inch width, 48mm offset, shod with the std size tyres for that wheel, 205/16/50s

That help?

 

Any news on shipping yet???

 

Ill get the info on the 304mm.

We are expecting the full shipment with us this week. Anns just chasing the freight company now.

 

Please say they'll get to us before or on saturday

 

Fair enough. For those that do want to be able to measure the runout, for less that £20 delivered you can get the necessary gauge and stand to measure this from here Chronos Dial Gauges. Not bad considering workshop labour charges these days.

 

Cheers Bren, if its any help here is a picture of one of my front alloys withe thw OEM 4 pots and discs in place.
