As per the title really is it a lot better than std or is it better going for AP 6 pots?

the P1 i am looking at has this fitted (Alcon) but does not have floating bells, do they stand up ok to trackwork?

thanks

i had them on my p1, they were great for road use, not so good on the track, only did 10 laps of goodwood, didnt feel wonderfull after that, had a manta previously with willwoods, did near 100 laps in one day at goodwood, no probs

Unhappy

There has been quite a few problems with the Alcon discs warping under hard road use/track use. It may be possible to get 2 piece discs made up to fit the Alcons as the calipers are not bad (good power and nice feel).
