I have just bought a set of AP 380 6 pot brakes to replace my AP 4 pot 330s. I was wondering whether I should put the 4 pots on the back of the car (with an AP handbrake caliper) or to keep the 300mm disc on the back. I just dont want my splitter being obliterated under heavy front braking

Any advice / opinions

 

Just to wet your whistle .

BRAKES:
Front: AP Racing 378mm (15") CP3700-1010/11G8 grooved and ventilated discs (fully floating) with gold anodised aluminium bells. AP Racing CP6235 6-pot differential bores, liquid-cooled, WRC callipers, and stainless-steel braided hoses. Ferodo DS3000 (CP6235D46) pads.

Rear: AP Racing 315mm (12.4") CP3580-64/5G8 grooved and ventilated discs wth gold anodised aluminium bells. AP Racing "Ex-works" Grp A, Ford Motorsport CP3620 4-pot callipers with titanium pistons and stainless-steel braided hoses. Ferodo DS3000 (CP3215D50) pads.

Looks well tasty Mike Have my calipers turned up yet?

Thanks

 

Not yet, but can have deliveries up to 5.30...

 

Anybody?

 

What wheels do you have? have you tried to fit them up yet?
I say throw them on the rear.

 

do it, that is what i have been up to here is a few pics for you, o the hand brake caliper takes some work you will need to make brackets, get longer cable and mod the ends and make a spring return and bracket set up for the cable as well

 

If its pic time... heres my old rears



and current ones. I changed them to match fronts better

 

do it.........

 

Thanks guys Duncoss thats the setup I am after.................

 

that's exactly the set-up I'm getting so i say do it

 

Think i will DunCoss, what are you using Brake bias wise? An AP adjustable bias valve? Are these easy to set up?

Thanks

 

I'd still like to know what wheels your using.

 

damnzzzzzz.....duncoss...thats lovely...

 

I am either goign to go for Compomotive MO's, or preferably a set of 19" speeline 2014 or 18" 2021 magnesium alloys Cossymad is trying to sort me out with these wheels at present..............so dont worry Fastmaul they will fit

 

Dude, the comp Mo's in 18 don't fit. in fact, Duncoss has tried them and they didn't fit. I'll be really interested to see what you end up fitting though.

 

Well my first choice is the speedlines anyway, I am really looking for a good magnesium wheel. The comps were a second choice, and I HAVE been told by a number of people they will allow 380mm discs to clear - but then that maybe is dependant on the width of the wheel too

 

Hi dude, not sure if you've seen this but have a read.

I know the old style MO's will fit but the new style doesn't.

 

Ooh nightmare, must be only the 10x18 that allow fitment then - and thats a little wide for me Anyway, i am not all that fussed on the look of the new compomotive MO's, much prefer the Speeline range

 

Do you have a link to the speedline wheel range? I'd like to see what styles they come in.
