Hi,
Can anyone tell me if a set of P1 Alcon discs/callipers will fit straight onto a MY96 Turbo brake system ??

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Steve

They are very good except a fair few have been know to warp - particularly if you take it on track.

For the same price though, you can get AP6 pots which are far superior!!!!

Cheers Matt,
6 pots ? christ how much weight does that add to the front end :-)

I would love a set of 6 pots but don't think I would do them justice, as I don't track race, just tend to drive enthusiasticly :-)

Thanks for your help.
Cheers

The AP6 pots are much lighter than the standard Subaru 4 pots and I think are also lighter than the Alcon 4 pots too.

Of course the AP4 pots are lighter than all of them and if you think 6 pots would be overkill, get the 4 pots instead
