hi spec are good but customer service is generally crap
comp brake calipers tend to suffer from flexing under heavy braking. on my m8's car u could actually see the calipers expanding outward
ap's - have some myself never really heard of any problems with quality or service hard plenty of hard abuse on track without fade or problems. try martin at reyland or a1 rallysport for some good deals.

They might flex...maybe (not seen mine do it) but they work flipping well

Yes you are paying for the name... it's up to you. Worth a PM to Tony as he sorted my brakes for me
