They're lovely!!!
TBH it is a bit hard to do a proper comparison, as i was using Carbotech pads with the old 4 pots, and they were awesome!!! A lot of the guys on the Lancer Register sware by them, and i understand why.
But the 6 pots feel a lot more 'solid' under breaking, and give me a lot more confidence.

They look great.. a mate went from Tony 2 Pots on his Classic WRX to AP 6's from Godspeed and the difference was absolutely unreal. Just mental braking ability once they were bedded in!!
Out interest, does a big brake kit like APs or K-Sports make a difference to an insurance premium... I know you cant answer for other companies, but in your own experience?
Cheers,
Grant

The companies i deal with don't tend to load any extra for bigger brakes
