Default Strap drive disc brakes

Anyone seen or used these...
Brake Kits, Brake Calipers, Brake Discs, Brake Fluid, Pads, Clutches from AP Racing

Just noticed them on the featured scoob! Looks interesting!

I'd go with Performance Friction Discs myself - the AP strap drives have had some issues.

True i have had some issues with them but AP have been brilliant and sorted me out, I have never experienced any sort of fade with them I can stay out on track untill i am tired not the brakes LOL

I had a balance issue but AP have changed the disc design and sorted that so all is good

Dale H that was the quickest non Tuner around the Handling circuit (second over all) also uses strap drives

In my experience the strap drives are great but the DS2500s that come with em are sh1te for track usage as they deposit way too much.

DS3000 were much much much better
