Default Upgrade to Ap's

As every Classic owner will probably know it's worth upgrading the brakes but I'm a little unsure what setup I need to go for. Through reading on here it seems clear AP are the daddys. Will i need to upgrade the front and rears or wil the stopping power be improved enough with just the fronts?

Where are the best places to buy these and at the most competitive prices aswell?

thanks in advance

If you can afford something as big as the AP's, you'll still want your brake bias to be in proportion, so you should atleast upgrade the rears to 2pot.

Road or track ? Brembo's are likely to be enough for a fast road car, but AP's better on track, IMHO !

P.S. If you have a fat wallet go for it !

Its for fast road really and maybe a little track use, I'm intending on taking my car upto about 330bhp, not massive but too much on standard brakes lol!

I haven't got endless funds to play with but when it comes to my car I normally find the money somewhere ; )
