I is right here!

They are awesome brakes, I had a 330 4 pot kit on the front of my Cossie and a 300 big disc kit on the back of my Saph. NEVER had fade or failure with them. Loved them.

I also sold my rear brakes on ebay for more than I paid for them a year or more after I bought them

Superb kit, I'll be having a 6 pot kit on my Evo before the Donno track day on 27/12/07, frantically saving away for them!

Yep, Tony is the man for these

Si

I have the pro race 7's - they are very very good indeed!

Frankly the best bit is that they are completely identical to the Porsche 993 Turbo front calipers. This means that you can simply order your pads from your local german and swedish or porsche dealer if you wish. AP racing caliper owners - weep!!!!
