Looking at a big brake upgrade at the mo and these two conversions seem to be about the same price.

Anyone got anything to say on either of them and which are the best?

Cheers

Rich, go for the AP's you know you want to! with the current problem I have with the movit's not fitting I may be going to AP's

as for tarox, well, never used them, but am told they don't have dust shields thus not good for road use, though not sure how true this is.

The one you have on now is bette than both of those you've just mentioned :o

Mike
I thought you liked AP 6 pots? :confused: ;);) :D:D

RICH WILD 21 February 2002 03:06 PM

EH?

Am I missing something ?

I've got EBC disks and standard 4 pots on now.
Are you confusing me with someone else?

Tarox 10 pots are purely a gimmic and are more for show than for performance, don't touch 'em. AP are tried and tested racing quality brakes and you won't find much better than their six pots.

Nuff said?

Spot on Martin.

Just the answer I was looking for.

Cheers.

My apologies, in my attempt to be sarcastic about the Tarox kits, I only managed to confuse.

What I was alluding to was Even your OEM brakes are better than the Tarox :o :p

Lol @ DTS. :D

RICH WILD 22 February 2002 01:57 PM

Sorry Mike, me being a bit thick :rolleyes: :o

Are TarOx really that bad?

Rich

Oh, and what price can you do an Ap 6pot kit for? :D

Hi Rich, just had AP 6 pots fitted to the Terzo and are awesome even in the bedding in process, like has been said, tried,tested and TRUSTED.

Dave T-S 22 February 2002 07:30 PM

The Tarox 10 pot have same sized pistons, and thus you get the same piston clamping pressure evenly along the pad.

The AP has different diameter pistons so you get more clamping pressure at one end of the pad (I can't remember which, but probably the leading edge) than the other, because strange as it may seem that's exactly what you need.

The Tarox is a triumph of form over function.....
