cossie*mad!

Need to upgrade my brakes so want to compare the different sizes of kits (for cosworths) Could you kindly post your photos and add:
The size of your discs and calipers
The brand
The size of your wheels
The cost
..and any modifications you needed to do and your opinions on the stopping power!
Cheers!!

ive got 330 disks and ap calipers from a morgan aero 8. the calipers are bigger than standard ap 330 set, and pads are roughly 40 % bigger and breaking power is far superior to my old stamdard ap330 set. hi spec 300 rear on 4x4 calipers.
stops easy enough from 170 mate.

i was told ages ago that the grooves only make more/less nois epending on their rotation, but the curved vanes need to be curved backwards (as measured with a pencil from that bloke with the escort that ain't the one in the pic)

Yeah it is a bit, but, I think thats the full RRP and I think AP had to do alot of messing about to get the kit to fit under a standard wheel.
