Default 330 or 355 6 pot brake caliper conversion

IF I could provide the following;

6 Pot Billet Alluminium caliper (milled out of 7075 and currently being used on a production track day style car with Design Approvals so is the real deal) anodised (gold, black, red, blue, natural), engraved with a logo of your choice or design.

330mm or 355mm (or larger if required) slotted disk with anodised (gold, black, red, blue, natural) bell and NAS/MS bolts.

Alluminium bracket to suit 2wd or 4wd.

Delivered to your door for 1300 pound.

How many people would be interested??

Caliper width and placement optimised for clearance issues on most 17in wheels (330 kit)

Ł1300 GBP?

Think the price would be a bit steap as you can an AP Racing Kit for that.

Just my opinion

Feedback is good - I did not think you could get a six pot kit though for that price - brand new.

Think of the possibilities of getting whatever you want engraved in the caliper in whatever colour you want??

How much would be a good price?

true, but paying for the novelty of that just doesnt appeal to me.

I could get my AP face's skimmed and engraved, but see no need to.

Its a nice idea but the cost is far too high for a non established product with no proff there up to the job.

I.e What make are the discs.

What happens about servicing the calipers when it needs new seals or when you need new discs.

will the calipers fit a generic pads. or will it have a specific pad that fits it.

That is cool - I not much into novelties myself.

It is an established product off a car which is in current production (i.e. meets all requirements) and is of billet construction.

The design is essentially (very common racing brand) so rebuild kits and pads are readily available.

Disks are DBA (australian manufacture) but can supply without disks and an AP disk fits the same.


Please tell me where I can buy an AP kit for 1300GBP as I might not even bother doing this for myself.

P.S. - really appreciate this feedback.

You would have to make the kit your thinking of much much closer to Ł1000 to even make it a viable option for people i would think.

why spend Ł1300 on a unknown make when you can spend an extra Ł100 and get AP racing version which are world renound. not trying to put the idea down, just saying, looking at the pricing its not going to be worth it, as 99% of people i think like the AP Racing Logo

Those are very good prices!! Respect. Do they include VAT?

I will be able to get below 1000GBP with a cast caliper version of the kit.

Really appreciate that info.

P.S. - currently making some centre lock adaptors for wheels similar to yours - just one question - is the width of your flange face 10mm on the aluminium hub adaptors you made up??

Thanks Ryan.

Gonna have to find some ways of cutting some costs.

And not pay 200GBP for delivery.
