pads are fine, i don't rate the discs though, doesn't take much abuse to warp them.

That explains why i think they are fucking shit then.

Once you've wellied the pedal a few times and got them hot they seem to bite better, the motor factors recommended them over Ferodo aswell, knew i should of had the Ferodo's, never had any problems with them before, the Apec's scare me being honest

Ah really, well i know for next time then! So Apec are just cheap and nasty then?

They were shit fucking scary before they bedded in

That said though, another bloke i use for parts a little independent place swore by Apec aswell, seemed to think they were better than Ferodo
