but back to the subject , i have used many variety of brake calipers onmy car and also work with a few production cars that are also fitted with brembo's and others with a.p's, i have to say that i run 300mm discs and a.p's ina 152 wheel and are the best brakes ive ever had on my car , even better than the wilwood 6pots that i had,
now at work we use the 'red' version of the brembo's and of the a.p's , now froma braking point of view i think that the a.p's are far superior to the brembo's in feel and in stopping power, but, and thsi is the bad bit, we are getting alot of problems we both of these calipers as road units because there made to a cheaper budjet than the race versions so we are getting very bad corrosion in the brembos, and the a.p bridge bolts are seizing in from new in a matter of 3000 miles
the brembo actually has problems with teh pad meterial actually falling off teh pads
i think if these types are used then very careful fitment must be followed and all poss seizable bolts/fixings must be well lubed
