Can't go wrong with AP really...Brembo are good aswell...

Falls down to have much you are willing to spend on brakes....

the set-up i've got is CP5200 calipers with 330mm discs...Awesome conversion...I don't do track days so it's more than enough for me Wims above conversion is the new calipers and discs...still 330mm but the fooker has got 6 pots

for a decent brakes set-up your looking at 1500 new or maybe <800 2nd hand.

All upto you and your wallet.

maxest,

That looks awesome Luvin that disks.
I will be upgrading the brakes on my Escort Cosworth soon. Any idea if they will go in behind 18" Azev A's without spacers ect?

Steve,
Of course there is space for you but only problem will be the hotel. Leave it with me and i'll try and get an extra bed out of them. cos you aint sharing mine

Cheers.
