If you want the best, you get what you pay for with AP.
I got talked into StopTech and regretted it ever since.
Otherwise get the best you can afford, so i cannot say for sure if 335 is really "worse" than 355 kit, but i would get the biggest i could fit under the wheels, within my budget personally.

You REALLY need to look at what will, and won't fit under your wheels, before buying owt.
Eg: 335mm;17" wheels, 355mm;18" wheels, etc, IIRC, but Ian at godspeed will advise.
Also, unless you are going to do track days, forget all you've been told about paying HUGE money for brakes. I have Godspeed 325mm Brembos under 17" wheels running close to 300bhp on a classic, with no probs, and it also stops my heavy caravan too, when I tow that. Over 40,000 miles on the same discs and pads, just about ready for replacement in the new year....

Cheers Alcazar think I'm just gonna get a godspeed kit as I don't do any track days yet but don't really plan on doin loads. I have 18's but i don't think Ian sells the 355mm kit without calipers, and I plan to have my car around 450bhp so will these still be ok for that?

Keep your eye out for a second hand set of AP's- they are worth the extra- and if you're going for that sort of power then you'll be spending a good few quid, so why cut corners and make do with something that you ultimately will never be 100% happy with?

I have my old Godspeed kit off my car if you fancy that 2nd-hand. Was looking for around £150 for the kit (brackets, spacers and the alloy bells). Other than discs/pads, the alloy bells are the other expensive bit of the kit, hence my price.
Don't have discs or pads as they were too worn.
New discs are roughly £295 and DS2500 pads are £100+ for that pad shape, but best checking with Ian.
