Brembo always used to appear to be the "big name", but seems most people seem to use/recommend AP gear now, 'specially on Cossies

Ive got 2 Mid ' 90's Touring cars, they both have Brembo brakes fitted, however the chassis logs show AP v Brembo Test sessions for 2 drivers ! Which do you prefer ! how are you basing this question , looks , colours or stopping ability , the latter is more to do with other factors !

Performance/stopping ability is what I'm wanting to know really. Looks are reasonably important too, but we can all see what they look like, but I don't know how they perform as I've never tried them and don't have the power just yet

I would be interested to know how many folk have experienced both Brembo and AP as the number preferring AP surprises me.

Other alternatives that are worth considering are Alcon (best rotors you can get imo) and KAD.
