Default AP's, warning contains shots of big brakes!!

Got the beasties out of the boxes this evening to give them a quick clean up ready for fitting Sat

Here's a dust bin lid





And mounting bracket



The 6 pot caliper



And just to give you some scale I popped one of my Lotus rims over a disc





The stop should be as good as the go now

kev can't see jack but remember bigger the brake quicker they lock up .

a few practice runs up a well known shopping centre is in order me thinks

in the damp

it will change your driving style.
1 later braking but this will only be good in a straight line
2.more response when dabing for backend lift when near to apex for gung ho 4 wheel drifting
our unless you don't use them

I had a full AP setup on my Type-RA.

6 pot 355mm on the front, 4 pot 335mm on rear. Truly fantastic brakes with lots of feel and progression, not to mention stopping power.
