Was wondering if RCM or anyone else was running decent black friday deals as possibly looking for brake kit for my Hatch

 

Did not see anything apart ksport forged 356mm kit for less than 1200 quid with floating rotors,where rcm sells alcon fixed ones for 2300 and (nothing special for price) proR caliper with fixed rotors .
Best bet is to buy alcon cr6 caliper ( rosssport sells them for 800 quid )and speak with stockar -alyn asperformace about 365mm alcon discs-expensive or ap 362mm(500quid for discs) plus bells and brackets to suit those kit. It will be best kit on the market ,alcons takes biggest pads ,lightest caliper etc. Only downside is grey colour.
below mine alcon race kit with rc6 caliper


or full set of ap's from grahamgoode 1858quid

 

GGR seems a decent price but they don't list hatchback only go as late a haakeye. Not 100% if they will fit but will ask.

 

they will fit on the front on hatch
what kind of wheels You have ?as this wont fit on newest sti enkeis
my gg kit ,nice gold anodised bells and brackets

 

I'm interested in some APs for my hatch too

 

RCM and deals don't belong in the same sentence ,or any where else for that matter .

 

 

strange as we know a way of getting some good pricing.........never struggle to 'deal'.......

 

standard wheels, will check if the RCM ap's fit under.

 

Ross Sport are doing Black Friday deals.

Their deal on the Alcon 343mm front brakes are about £140 cheaper than RCM.

Actually the RCM 365mm calipers are red so have bought them

 

the coloured road kits whilst having dust seals are of a different / lesser spec than the pukka Monobloc race calipers and in our experience give far more issues..........

thats before you get to the bells and replacement rotor costs........

 

is that the AP kits you're referring to?

 

no
its about alcons proR
rcm claims they use race discs with ap kit,that could be expensive like alcons
still will take alcons kit with race calipers from stockcar
monoblock ( ap's are not mono) great design, just 2 bolts to hold huge pads(no pins,springs etc) ,lightweight think around 3kg per caliper where ap weights 4.5kg

 

no specifcally about the Alcon road style kits / Pro-R or otherwise.................
AP's road-going calipers work very well taken in context

 

cars only road use. I had ap's on my hawkeye but not sure caliper and thought they were really good so probably route to go for me I would think.
I'm assuming the AP kit RCM sell is the whole kit from AP but could be wrong.

 

ask rcm not competition

 

fair point will do.

 

this particular 'competition' tends to state how it is without grace or favour.........
their site describes the AP set as a "Formula Kit" which is AP's naming program for their factory builds.......that would suggest its a compete kit albeit the floating set-up is again pricey and poor to replace IMO
