Joe,

they are meant to stop your car, not be a fashion statement

Why not just cut 2 dustbin lids up & stick behind the wheels, hey presto, massive discs

The Cheepest kit you'll find would be the godspeed one I think, 1300quid for 335's which have godspeed disks rather than ap ones.

Have to ask first though as they wont fit under all 17s

you can get 355's too if you go to 18" wheels

lol, when the word cheap & brakes is mentioned in the same sentence I shudder tbh . If you want the best go AP & don't bother messing around. I've been there, got the T-shirt, learnt my lesson. If you can't afford new there is a 2nd hand set here http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=505370. A mate sold a set a while ago for £800 but knowing Adam his will be mint & hardly used They will fit classic & new age as I swapped mine from my P1 to my STI

You could always paint the calipers if you want thou leaving them standard will retain the value come resale time

Thanks for the thread link

all i was trying to do was find out who done the AP's at the cheapest price...no point in having cheap brakes on a car with 450bhp (soon to be).....

i also like xbox live..... jonjo1

AP 6 Pots, with appropriate AP Bells and Rotors are the mutts nuts.

The pedal feel and braking is out of this world...... especially with the 355mm rotors.
