I got AP 4 pots on the 3 door but have never used them as the car has no engine ATM

Look good though

My mate had the 6 pot conversion on his saff and they were stunning

Comp Brakes on mine, front 330mm 4 pots, and rear 300mm bells and rotors on spaced out standard calipers.

Those that know me and my driving know the car gets used HARD all the time on track (when it works) and I swear by them.

Best prices also come from Tony (Of the NUTS RuS variety), and they are far cheaper than the 'obvious' brands and work just as well if not better IMHO.

IIRC Ł750 ish for the fronts, and Ł250 ish for the rears.

I use AP 4 Pots with 330mm dics find them great

wheel choice becomes limited due to the big brakes but well worth it
