Replacing Prodrive 330mm kit with AP

Replacing Prodrive 330mm kit with AP
Has anyone got any experience of changing the Prodrive 330mm 4 pot kit for an AP kit?
I currently have the Prodrive kit, but the pads and discs are shgged and need replacing - I'd be grateful for some opinions as to whether I'm better off replacing the discs and pads, or upgrading to a 355mm AP 6 pot kit (same price as the 330 AP kit and I have 18s). Is there ogoing to be much of a difference?
Thanks for any opinions on the above!

I went from the alcon kit to the ap 6 pot kit (via the brakeman kit but the less said about that kit the better). Stopping wise, no real difference but the Ap's will do it again & again & again where as I just warped the alcons.
The split bell / disc helps with the heat and the discs work out at £300 per set rather than the Alcon £££'s. As Ron has posted thou, worth looking at the replacement bell/disc route as you already have the h/duty calipers (I did try at the time but Ian was to busy ) so got the AP's sorted and have been happy since

As suggested, get two-piece discs off Godspeed and keep the Alcon calipers. Better and cheaper than Alcon (one-piece) discs. Alcon/Prodrive calipers are excellent.

Alcon now make 330mm rotors ( the Alcon Advantage range) to fit 2 piece kits that will work in the Alcon calipers. Unfortunately, being helpful chaps, they won't supply the bell, but as mentioned above godspeed/hi spec/EARS etc will make those for you

The prodrive brakes wont be no contest what so ever against AP Brakes
AP Racing 6-pots are just fantastic and even better on track these kits are worth every penny.
