Default Which AP brakes are better?

I was just wondering the differences between the larger and smaller front 6 pot brakes. Is it simply that one fits under 17" wheels and that allows for track use and the other ones will go under 18" wheels and allow for bigger disks therefore better heat distribution.

Other than that are there and big differences in performance (like actual stopping power)?

Thanks

I own the 330mm set-up, it can easily overwhelm the grip on R888's and the ABS system....

AP did a rear 4 pot kit to match the six pot front kits, mainly for the "show car" boys who need matching collars and cuffs.... 330+ size nicely fills a larger wheel, but weighs more so no problem on the road, but less use on track.

IMHO

I have the 330mm kit on mine and they just stop I'm pretty sure the 330mm kit is more expensive
