running in new ap 6pots
I have the ap 6 pots 355mm on my P1 ,i have done 600 miles on the brakes ,tried them hard at around 60mph but they dont feel that much different to the prodrive 330mm 4 pots i had on before.Do i need to do some high speed braking to rough them up a bit?

I believe you won't notice any remarkable difference for one or two brake applications from 60mph, try them hard on track and you'll see if they worth the money you spent cause their advantage over 4pots is heat dissipation.
Also bear in mind if you don't change your rear brakes with bigger/better or use harder pad compound rear you'll spoil your brake balance, not good if you want shorter stopping distanses!

just had the same kit fitted to my00 last thursday, had a track day at brands hatch on monday. Not much time to bed in but the brakes were superb. Doing 6-7 hard laps at a time and the brakes were different class with no real overheating problems. On the track they come into their own.
