Are 18" comp MO6's and AP 6 pots worth it or would (on the car already) 17" diamond cut RS7's with AP 330s be better?

For my crystal blue running 380/400:







Any opinions welcome guys

Cheers,

Philip.

 

How much power you got I'm sure your not out preform the 330's with 4 pots on the road

 

Hi James,

It's running 380bhp/400lb/ft as stated in first post

Was thinking the 6 pots are more for bragging rights as I'm not running 500+bhp nor doing track days but I just have an itch to buy once and buy right!!

Serious amount of cash though

Are the 4 pots enough or are 6 pots WAY better?

Never been in a car with either so would like anybody's opinion who has them/has experience with them.

Cheers lads.

Philip.

Need to upgrade the rears at the same time so I'm guessing 300mm and 4X4 callipers is enough too.....?

Cheers lads.

I never had any issues with my 330's and 4 pots on the road with my saff at 500bhp and I'll be using them with 650! If needs be I'll change to bigger calipers. Your be fine with the 4 pots I'd save the money

 

Sound mate. I'll have to see what to do cos don't wanna lose the diamond cuts but time will tell.

Your 650 engine should be mighty!!!

Surely someone who's had both 6 and 4 pot can voice an opinion?

 

Nice saff mate and good power/torque!

 

Not mo6's though ffs, the modern tsw venum

 

Cheers mate.

Man whatever about the wheels, what's your opinion on the brakes? Any xp with 6 pots and if so, are they worth it?

 

Ap 6 pots in my car , brakes are unreal tbh ,
But I'm sure the 4 pots would be fine too ,
When u bought mine I was goin for the 4 pots but for very little more money I got the 6s
I've. 4wd caliper s on the back with grooved discs just

 

Cheers Dan. I see what u mean, not much difference in price so why not go for the 6's!

It may be overkill but was going to go 4 pots on the rear to finish it off nicely but haven't decided yet as I know 4X4 calipers and 300mm discs should be sufficient.

Cheers for the tips.

 

If you go 4 pots on the back you ll prob need a brake bias fitted ,
You sure the diamonds will fit over the brakes ?
I always thought they wouldn't

 

Ya they're a balls to fit but apparently Paul_RS on here said before if I remember correctly that they will fit with a little effort. Apologies if quoting incorrectly on that one!

This is what I've found. Mark_RS car.

 

Ap 4 pots on the back of a road going 2wd saff like yours will leave you spinning down the road Phil.

I was going to do the same and was advised by mike rain bird that it's a no no on 2 wd

 

Ya that's sound James. Read up a lot more on it and seen Mike Rainbird posting about it too saying that even his car at 180+ mph only had 4X4 calipers and bigger discs I believe on the rears...said he had no problem ever with them.

Think I'll just go with that, 4X4 calipers, 300/320mm discs MT Motorsport on the rears and either 4 pot / 6 pot on the front.

Cheers mate

Philip.

 

these are up for sale

Cheers mate seen it already but will be going spang new and AP all the way

Philip.

 

If the 6 pots are significantly more cost then it just isn't worth it performance wise.

 

bigger the better

 

Mclaren 650s only run 4 pots on the front with iron discs so can't be all bad although they so run 370mm discs lol.

As said I was told no to 4 pots on the rear although going to try some brembo 2 pots on the rear of mine running the 4x4 calipers as the handbrake!

 

Cool!

Was thinking 360/370mm 6 pots on the front and 4X4 calipers and MT's bigger rear disk kit.

Time to start saving or slogging through part selling
