Just abit of a random thread really this... i have to say they're the BEST mod i've had done to the car.. i finished bedding them in properly today and the stopping power is just unreal.. thanks Martoon..
IMHO, bar Brembos/Alcons, you would be MAD to put anything else on. Fantastic mod, had AP's on all of my cossies except my first one. The only trouble is when you drive a car without them, and shit yourself when you don't stop.
Got AP 6 pots with 362mm rotors and theyre brilliant Pete.

I still look in the rear view mirror before input the brakes on as I've had a few close calls from tail gaters and on the track they are just in a league of their own, I absolutled outbraked everyone at ford fair on my first lap and even braking later and later they just stopped quicker and quicker, I was always braking too early even though I was leaving it later and later.
Absolutly the first mod to do on ANY car, the fiesta with some 300mm on it is just as fantastic to stop in a hurry but going from the car intothe van is just bow easily you forget that you can't stop anywhere near as quickly and I've had a few defcon brown moments
when i first got my moonstone saff ,i had a mate out for a spin and i told him to place his hands on the dash as i was going to show him how good the aps were ,his first reaction was to tut at this his second was to smack his head off the dash/
windscreen lol.

Cool, glad you're happy with them And to think you were in two minds as to whether they would be OTT for a road car!
I've fitted AP calipers to the front of my Sapph race car but haven't used them yet. I had HiSpec calipers before which fitted OK and worked OK but failed very quickly when I used them in anger. Don't know why I bothered with the HiSpecs - cheap crap, and the worst comedic service of any company I have ever dealt with.
Pete, Did you have any problems fitting them under your 17" CXNs
Cheers

Hi Ray,
Martin fitted them for me buddy, you need new TRE's too mate, speak to Martin he'll sort you out AND get them fitted, you'll not look back believe me....
I like my AP's but i think the top brake companys are all pretty similar at the end of the day.
