We can supply kits with AP calipers , we offer a 330mm kit with CP6600 4 pot calipers , which have proper dust seals , kit comes with a choice of pad , brackets ect , these kits are £1250. |
Thanks for the info.
With regards to the AP 4 Pot kit, do you know if they would be ok with the Revolution Millennium alloys in either 18X7.5 5X100 ET48 WITH 215/35/18 OR 225/35/18 17X7.5 5X100 ET48 WITH 215/40/17 OR 225/40/17 I can't really afford either at the moment, but hopefully a few months into the new year I'd be looking at purchasing both. |
Yes the AP caliper kits will fit under those , you'll get a 330mm kit under 17's , and a 355mm kit under 18's

Yes AP's are better, but my Brembos cope well with 370BHP of fast road style driving. If I was going to track the car regularly I'd upgrade - possibly to AP's. If a set of good Brembos can be found cheap they are a good option for a road car in my opinion.
As outlined by Ian, if you shell out £500 then discover you need a refirb and helicoil, new discs and pads you'll be ball park AP money, then add the fact that you may well need to shell out another £3/500 on new wheels and tyres because they don't fit behind as many different wheels (even more so on a classic, So unless you are happy to have a set of early STI wheels you could possibly end up shelling out a fair few more quids than you would by just going for the 330mm CP 6600 kit like mine has. Other thing to remember is you'll be doing circa 25/30k miles before you need new pads and 50/60k before new discs. I don't know what brembos are capable of, but if peoples experience of them on here is anything to go by you'll have needed 2x hellicoil and 2x refirb. ;) |
I'm a little out of touch as mine have been fitted for around eight years and have coped with over 4,000 (yes 4k) miles with no problems! :)
