Just buy the AP 6's and you will know you won't have any problems. Pointless spending all your cash to get to a power level to skimp on brakes and end up in the tyre wall wishing you had bought AP's

cant say anything other than spot on, i have run AP 6 pots on my p1 with out an issue, obviously not as hard a time as you guys in time attack but still a few track days and never ahd a porblem. Noe have AP 4 pots on my sti 5 and will be taking it on the track and the end of the month (with any luck) so hoping for good things with them too.

AP get my vote but i have heard of good things about the k-sports and i think dynamix who one last year has a set on his so they cnat be too bad.

Ksport brakes are spot on. Never had any doubt about stopping ability last season with them.

Can't beat them value wise IMO and a great group buy price on at the mo.

AP's are very, very good but for the price the K Sport 356mm 8 pots are amazing value in the group buy, defo worth a look IMHO

it does make sense thats why ive left everything to scoobyclinic. they have race pedigree and know what they are on about. i learnt that very early in our relationship. if i hadnt listened to kev, ads and co i shudder to think how much money i would have wasted
