Hi andy
have you seen the AP's that Martin/Reyland has for sale in the traders for sale parts?
there not 8 pots but they are 380mm 6 pots so pretty big and im sure if they are not big enough he will be able to do you a good deal on a set of 8's anyway

hi andy
if you want AP 8 pots they are made to order they dont not have them on the shelf
just thought i would let you know
you can get the 8 pot brombo's for the 378mm x32 mm discs easy enough
i think martin has a spare set not 100% sure tho worth a call

I actually only owned those for 1 day then sold them on.....lovely brakes, although they are only 355......
For tarmac, i'd definately be looking at the Brembos.......

yeah thats true.
i've certainly had my share of breakes, never owned 8 pots though, every conciabled 6 pots, and as Tim has said, much more wheel clearance benefits with the AP race versions, the road brembo's seem to have alot of excess material on them making them much harder to mount on large disc and 18's.
as i think they were designed for like 19" wheels on the merc.

tbh I had never even heard of AP 8 pots until this post. Ł400 for pads etc - you folk are nuts! This will sound gay but with such light cars do you need such big brakes? I guess you are braking from higher speeds though. Also do you all use brake ducting for better efficiency as I know this is a major factor in F1 to brake duct size choice etc. Always looks a real pain to set up on a car though.
Are the pads for the brembos the same cost - eg Ł800 just to do the pads on martin's escort?!?!
