If on the 304mm disk make sure the pads are the scalloped ones (47mm wide rather than 52mm) otherwise they will rub on the bell.......

You definately dont want to run either the 1155 or the 1166 (as the 1166 are competition pads and are not really suitable for road use) i would say go for the 1144's as these wont take 5 miles to warm up and you should be able to stop when your disc's/pads are cold

I think that answers my question as to whether the wilwood discs are up to the job too.

At least when they need replacing, it's £160 a pair vs £350!

when i bought the APs i bought them second hand and the chappy i bought them from allen philby dont know his user name was decent enough to tell me they were willwood disks

have to say wern`t completly convinced about them now obviously i cant compare to ap disks all i can say is that the willwood disks are well up to the job

the guy at the company where i am getting the pads explained to me about the 1166 and explained the bedding in proceadure 10 minutes town driving followed by 5 high speed stops 80-90 down to 30 and then allow to cool and as i will be using them for track day use only not even for getting to the circuit they will suite the situation for me ok

got me thinking about the 1144 rather than the 1155s i will have to give him a call back

the disks are willwood 310mm so the pads will fit in ok

thanks tony and james for the info
