Default Alcon/Pro R 6 pot 343mm kit

Hey guys, just to let people know realy, that these have fitted behind my 17" wheels with no modifications, e.g spacers etc.

My wheels are 7.5j x17 ET48

It does also depend on the style of the wheel alot though as my wheels do not come in from the outer edge much if you know what i mean.

Here is a pic



I was amazed they fit to be honest but i think your agree that they look awesome.

Cheers
Si

AP's are 2200 or RCM do there kit for 1950.

No comparisons that i know of but im pretty sure alcon is well on par with AP gear.

Someone correct me if im wrong.

AP Racing is a awesome kit and standard equipment on the Cosworth CS400. I tested the Pro-R Alcon kit on the new STi saloon at Bruntingthorpe proving ground and all I can say is that against the standard brembo set up, the brembos do not even come close.

The Alcon kit is unreal and you will run out of talent way before you cause them any problems. Lap after lap after lap they did their job without even breaking a sweat, I only stopped because we were running out of fuel

All I can say is that if you run these brakes you better have good tyres!!!

The Alcons are on par with AP's , the downside of the Alcon is the price for replacement parts , your looking at around £700 for a pair of discs , with no bells !
