AP Racing 6 Pot Front Brake Setup
Before I start looking for a new set does anyone have an AP Racing 6 pot brake setup for sale?
Ideally for 5x114.3 PCD and be 330mm with good rotors, although 5x100 would be fine as I could get the bells redrilled. Please PM me with what you have available. :) |
Sorry no ..but got mine from Godspeed £1550 ;)

Probably using their own kit, but I'd rather go for a full AP kit first out of choice.

The only thing that bothers me about the Alcon setup is the well known problems with the dust seals, they know it's a problem and have never done anything to rectify it.

Along with the pistons rusting , and bells crumbling , and this can happen after only a couple of years.

The car was running standard power The brembos had to go Sounds like you could of had another problem if it was on standard power, even when I upgraded to AP 6 pots the set up came with the ferodo pads as standard and they were shocking once you get some proper heat in them.SJ. |
I take it them 9040 are the newer 7040 versions. (How much is the 'full' AP kit in that btw?)
I could of had some alcons, but they looked in a right state, big price of replacement discs and I've heard the seal stories too and then the aps came up. Agree sj on the ds2500 set up on 6 pots, they are not the best pad for the caliper, can't wait to change them. |

You think? Lol. Either it was 6 pots or not lol. Was gonna say for 6 pot kit was a decent price but I'm pretty sure it was the 4 pot kit at that price?

The CLs are meant to be really good . . But which flavour would be best . .rc5+ or rc6 ? Not sure the link is correct caliper but good for getting idea about prices

https://www.kamracing.co.uk/manufact...rake-pads.html But yeah £250ish sounds right for the 6 pots. I think the 7040/9040 use same pad I think? |
How long do the ds2500 normally last for using fast road

Fairly long as it goes as I am trying to wear them down as we speak so I can justify changing them,but I feel above a certain power level or driving style they fade pretty badly and are borderline dangerous as when they start to get some serious heat in them they run out of grip.I have a set of PF race compounds to go in when they do but would not buy or use the DS2500 again,my mate has the DS3000 which he raves about I might give them a try at a future time.SJ.
