He's wrong anyway cos the Escort WRC cars had 8 pot Brembo on!!
. Just because they weren't used by the FORD works team, doesn't mean they weren't used by other WRC teams .

But in the real world what is the point in monster brake set ups for road use if the tyres cant handle it ? waste of money unless you do a lot of track days and are prepaired to use slicks no good having stopping power if everytime you hit the pedal it rips the tread clean off and locks the wheels up hence actualy increasing your stopping distance !

I would find that surprising if that was true, as the CP5570 6-pots use a larger pad, so common sense and physics would dictate that they would perform better, even if it was a just a few metres better stopping (not measurable on an "arse dyno
"), but yet still BETTER. They can't be anything else, as the pads have more surface area AND more pressure from the 6-pots.The pad that Dave posted up is the AP 4-pot. The 6-pot one is 152mm long.

Hi Mike
i understand what your saying and yes about the pad area
i know 2 people that had the AP 6 pots (Cp 5750 not 100% on part no)small 6 pots on their 330mm discs and both swaped them back to the 4 pot (CP 5200) on the 330mm disc they found them better allround
their's were just road cars and stayed on the road
personally i know they are all good brakes
ap's rock
