You will find Alcon on alot of big money race and competition vehicles, and AP on alot of road vehicles. As this is majority a road based forum its not difficult to see why they are winning

Very good point NUTS RuS

We do use a full high end AP brake set up on our aston race car and this works very well in conjunction with the Tilton pedal box
