I have also been looking into a break upgrade, pads hoses etc. Been looking at the Pagid RS421, seems to be ideal for fast road / light track. The Pagid RS29 Yellow seems to be the track choice for most.

I thought the AP's cost more...

Which kits are you comparing? Keep in mind the 7100/7150 kits were designed to clear the factory 18" wheels on the track.

I like the way brembos look but I cant tell you which is better for stopping power. Good thing about Brembos is that you can get custom colours.

I've only ever had one big brake upgrade and I went for AP's, I was very impressed with them and I would use them again

Good choice and as used by most F1 teams. Brembo is cosmetic jewellery imo

bling bling. If you want good brakes.....AP all the way

JOHNBMWM5 · 02-16-2010, 10:50 AM

So what are we saying "price wise" for the AP front callipers and pads then?.

Not sure if they are the best, but Evolve have been very good.

hugehead · 02-27-2010, 04:36 PM

Ap Racing ...there is no substitute

ps any tuner worth their salt should be able to supply and fit APs !!

AP Racing set front and back is £4500 from thorney motorsport.

http://www.thorneymotorsport.co.uk/t...Upgrades.shtml

The Brembos can be bought from CA Automotive and are about £7000

http://www.ca-automotive.co.uk/produ...faWQ9MTA4.html

not sure why the brembos are so much more expensive than the brembos given that they are both 6 pot and 4 pot kits with 2 piece floating discs.

AP Racing are one of the biggest names in motorsport, and they're british too (Brembo is italian) so they get my vote !

hugehead · 02-28-2010, 02:45 PM

they get my vote not because they are british ...just that they are the best out there imho
