As above really, just like to thanks them both for fitting my new AP 4 Pots 330mm Discs & TRE's, all i can say is WOW... probably the best mod and money i've spent on the car, really, the stopping power now is immense and that's just with bedding them in, i really would recommend these to anyone who's in the market for some new stoppers, yes they're not cheap as we know, BUT you get what you pay for..


Before...




Afer...



TRE's




I'm a happy bunny...

I'm just wondering if there is any difference to the appearance of the car with its wheels on and in a choice photo location Pete? ...I think we should check, sling a coupladozen photos up lad.

Just kidding mate, the brakes look the biz. I've never had APs myself, but one of my mates fitted some on his Impreza and the difference was phenominal over the standard 4-pots, genuinely blew me away.


Cheers,
Grant

Grant, i've had them on my last 2 Evos and saff, BUT when you have a car on the brake setup you bought it with, you quickly forget how good these really are, it could be the difference between life & death, sounds daft i know, but true...

Lol, they just fit behind the Splits snug mate..i'm sure i'll get some pics...

Glad you're pleased Pete

A std 330mm kit won't fit behind your wheels Pete, you have special bells and brackets.

At least you have done something to the car you said you would

As said Martin, best mod on the car for me...

andy escos

iTrader: (1)

is that why you swapped the track rod ends to give more clearance by moving the disc & calliper in board
very nice bit of kit though

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

Exactly that, there is no way 330's would have fitted otherwise.

very nice pete

dojj

iTrader: (3)

ther is a night and day difference between standard stoppers and proper stoppers

all these folks who go about about them being able to stop just as well with uprated standard sized discs and calipers "because you can only stop as quickly as your tyres can grip" simply haven't been in a car with a proper setup, and it really should be the FIRST mod any car should have

just need some pics with the wheels on now to see if you have hidden them away or not

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Dojj, agree 100% mate...

Always seems to be an overlooked mod does the brakes but possibly one of the best things you can do to a car. Nice one Pete. Was over the moon the 1st time i stepped on the brake pedal after putting mine on

dojj

iTrader: (3)

speak to the guy's who bolted them up, you may be pleasantly surprised, i know i was when i shopped around, plus their customer service is second to none from the times i've used them *

*other companies are available

very nice Pete.

you know i have bells and brackets and the rose jointed ends sitting here doing nothing, could of had them instead of buying them.

iTrader: (1)

Dave you can give them to me

Iv gone for these on the rear of mine just waiting for them to turn up then il be a happy chappy

dojj

iTrader: (3)

when i got mine done there was a distinct lack of "cowboy" in their operation, so much so that the wheels were pulled off and then there was some measuring going on before the final "your wheels won't fit if you want those stoppers" was given, followed by "this is the offset you need to keep the wheels within the arches and clear the brakes" and not a "we'll see what we can get away with in terms of spacing the wheels out" followed by me thinking "ok, i've been butt fucked here"

certain things you can explain away, if your engine blows up you can say that it's spun a shell or it's lost the oil pump drive but when it comes to serious items such as brakes and they don't work, you really can't skimp on them being "trust me, i'm sure that will be ok"

for me, even the choice of pad was enquired about due to me wanting to have it as a road car, did i want to do some track time in it, did i want them to work from cold, etc, absolutely spot on, even down to explaiing the brake lines that needed to be made up, torque settings for various components (seeing as i was fitting them myself) bedding in techniques, everything

ok, i'll stop bigging him up now

Pete,
I can't see anything special - perhaps you should try making the photos bigger, as like your knob, your brakes look a little small !
